Soulsavers will be serving as the house band for the night with friends such as Troy Van Leeuwen, Aldo Struyf and other special guests sitting in throughout the evening. Speaking about the event in a press release, Dulli said: “What a wonderful night this will be. Singing his songs and sharing stories of our dear friend in a much-deserved celebration of his life and music.”
Collaborations were a massive part of Lanegan’s career. The musician worked closely with Queens Of The Stone Age and contributed to various albums including their seminal third LP ‘Songs For The Deaf’.
Lanegan also formed The Gutter Twins with Greg Dull. Their critically acclaimed album ‘Saturnalia’ was released in 2008. He’s also collaborated with Isobel Campbell on a three-album partnership. Lanegan has also worked with Gahan on a cover of David Bowie and Giorgio Moroder’s ‘Cat People’ for Soulsavers’ 2012 LP ‘The Light the Dead See’.
In other news, last month, ‘Heard a Train’, a previously unreleased Mark Lanegan track was released. The track was featured in Lanegan’s post-humous reissue of his 2004 LP ‘Bubblegum’.
