“It is with great sadness that we share the news that our dear friend and family member, Mark Linkous, took his own life today. We are thankful for his time with us and will hold him forever in our hearts. May his journey be peaceful, happy and free. There’s a heaven and there’s a star for you.”
This statement released by the family of the front man Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse.
Sparklehorse is most known (to me anyway) for a beautiful “It’s A Wonderful Life”. A dark and contradictory tone to such a beautiful sentiment. I heard this song first during BBC Americas 4th season of Skins and was hooked.
A sad day. Our condolences to all
