El mundo de la música reacciona ante la muerte de Sparklehorse

Justo el jueves publicábamos en Felices Desempleados que el maravilloso proyecto de Danger Mouse, Sparklehorse y David Lynch, titulado Dark Night of the Soul, por fin sería lanzado al mercado después de las duras disputas entre EMI y sus creadores.

Sin embargo, como la felicidad nunca es completa, la noticia que nos llena de tristeza es que este fin de semana nos enteramos de que Mark Linkous, el líder de Sparklehorse, se ha quitado la vida de un disparo al corazón en Knoxville Tennessee.

La muerte del cantante de 47 años ha desatado numerosas reacciones en el mundo de la música, de las que en Felices Desempleados destacamos las siguientes:

- Collin Greenwood (Bajista de Radiohead): "I was very sad to hear the news that Mark Linkous has died. He and his band toured with us in Europe, at the start of OK Computer, and they were great every night. His first two records were very important to me, and I carried his music from the tour into my life, and my friends' lives too. He was softly spoken, with an Old South courtesy I hadn't heard before: he introduced me to Daniel Johnston's music, and the West Virginian writing of Pinckney Benedict. Mark wrote and played some beautiful music, and we’re lucky to have it. Rest in Peace."

- Chris Walla (Guitarrista de Death Cab for Cutie): "Rest in peace, Mark Linkous. I always hoped that someday you would treat you good too. You shared so much."

- Steven Drozd (Miembro de los Flaming Lips): "R.I.P. Mark Linkous. You were a kind soul...Mark Linkous toured with us in 2003. Every night he and I would share a quiet moment with a shot of whiskey and a few laughs. A nice memory."

- Ross Millard (Vocalista de los Futureheads): "RIP Mark Linkous - 'It's a Wonderful Life' is one hell of a song - Linkous was one hell of a visionary."
