Mark Lanegan: Kurt Cobain’s Drug Runner, Liam Gallagher’s Tormentor, and Matt Dillon’s Firestarter

Mark Lanegan was grunge’s darkest secret – a gravel-voiced hellraiser who ran dope for Kurt Cobain, scared Liam Gallagher into quitting Oasis, and nearly lost his arm (and his mind) chasing the next high. He brawled his way out of a dead-end town, made as many enemies as friends in the music industry, and somehow kept singing through it all. From crack dens to concert halls, his life was pure rock ‘n roll noir – violent, haunted, and painfully real.
