May he Rest In Peace

This is how musicians deal with it.

This is how musicians deal with it.

Linkous committed suicide by shooting himself in the heart outside a friend's house in Knoxville at 1:20 pm on March 6, 2010. He was 47 years old. According to a spokesperson for the Police Department, the musician was staying with two friends, who told authorities that he had been drinking heavily and had become upset after trading text messages with an unknown person. The friends said Linkous went upstairs for a short period, then told the two that he was going for a walk and exited through a back door. A witness saw him sit down in the alley near Irwin Street, pull out his rifle, and fire into his own chest. Linkous was declared dead at the scene; police did not find a suicide note, but told the press that he was having "personal problems." The musician's publicist confirmed the details of his death to a number of publications on the same day.

Perhaps a little harsh....

That "letter to the fans" hmmm....

By no means the best but if I had to pick just one, it would be The Rep Grows Bigga. It's been the soundtrack to a lot of moments.
