NICK CAVE"A stoned cold classic" IAN RANKINMark Lanegan writes like he sings, from the pained heart of a damaged soul with brutal honesty BOBBY GILLESPIE"Powerfully written and brutally, frighteningly honest" LUCINDA WILLIAMSA ROUGH TRADE AND MOJO BOOK OF THE YEARFrom the back of the van to the front of the bar, from the hotel room to the emergency room, Mark Lanegan takes us back to the sinister, needleridden streets of Seattle, to an alternative music scene that was simultaneously bursting with creativity and saturated with drugs. He tracks the tumultuous rise and fall of Screaming Trees, from a brawling, acidrock bar band to worldfamous festival favourites with an enduring legacy, and tells of his own personal struggles with addiction, culminating in homelessness, petty crime, and the tragic deaths of his closest friends. Gritty, gripping and unflinchingly raw, SING BACKWARDS AND WEEP is about a man who learned how to drag himself from the wreckage, dust off the ashes, and keep living and creating. The most brutally honest rock memoir imaginable DAILY TELEGRAPH | Mark Lanegan Sing Backwards & Weep : The Sunday Times Bestseller Paperback Book
