Turns out he had just moved last year to Killarney, Ireland. Well at least he checked out from a pretty place. He survived the drug years, I dunno that there’s any group of musicians that drank and drugged themselves to death more thoroughly than the Seattle Grunge crowd. Wiki says he was hammered by Covid so bad he lost his hearing and could barely walk, could have had a connection to his death.

Lead singers from Seattle grunge bands have a tragic attrition rate. Wood, Cobain, Staley, Cornell, now Mark Lanegan. The only one left is Vedder.
Mark Arm, and the rest of the best band from that grunge mess imo Mudhoney are still around as well.

Forgot about those guys.
Although STP wasn't really grunge, they usually got lumped in there, so you could put Scott Weiland on that list, too.

I am proud and delighted to have never heard of him or them. Perhaps because I have not listened to anything so mistakenly called "music" in decades.

Right. Weiland was a peer, though, and another casualty.

I'd have much rather Andrew Wood stayed around instead of that sorry replacement of his.

True. I used to be a huge fan of Pearl Jam but Vedder can fall over tomorrow for all I care. Liberal Fugg
Wasn't there something about Cornell and the Dumocratic party all chummy (then he went and kilt himself)? He had a fantastic voice but again the liberals got to him.

Never heard of him or the group either. I turned off MTV and pop radio when grunge took over. Couldn’t stand that crap.
