Description
Sing Backwards and Weep is a gritty memoir by Mark Lanegan, detailing his years as a singer and drug addict in Seattle in the '80s and '90s. Lanegan recounts his rise to fame as the frontman of Screaming Trees, followed by a fall from grace as a low-level crack dealer and homeless heroin addict.
The book takes readers back to the sinister streets of Seattle, where the alternative music scene was marked by both creativity and excess. Lanegan tracks the tumultuous rise and fall of Screaming Trees, from a brawling bar band to world-famous festival favorites, and delves into his personal struggles with addiction, culminating in homelessness and tragedy.
This memoir reveals the abrasive underlining beneath one of the most romanticized decades in rock history, from the highs of the stage to the lows of addiction and despair.
