Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme, Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan, The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde, and others honored the late Mark Lanegan during a tribute concert at the Roadhouse in London on Thursday night (December 5th).
The star-studded show, dubbed “Mark Lanegan 60 – A Celebration,” was held in honor of the late singer’s 60th birthday (he would have turned 60 on November 25th). The Screaming Trees frontman and erstwhile member of Queens of the Stone Age passed away in February 2022 at the age of 57.
The 30-song setlist featured the performers singing mostly Lanegan’s solo tunes along with three Screaming Trees songs and one Gutter Twins number (“The Stations”).
The show was divided into mini sets, with Gahan singing the first four numbers, then Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream) and Alison Mosshart (Dead Weather, The Kills) each singing a block of songs. Lanegan’s Gutter Twins bandmate Greg Dulli took on four songs, including the aforementioned tune “The Stations.”
Hynde took the stage for three songs, while Homme closed out the main set with four tunes, including duets with Mosshart and Gahan. An encore featured Dulli, Gahan, and Lanegan’s widow, Shelley Brien Lanegan.
At one point during the show, according to NME, Homme told the audience, “[Lanegan] would have pretended to hate this, but he would have loved to see you all here tonight.”
Throughout the entire show, the Soulsavers featuring QOTSA’s Troy Van Leeuwen served as the house band.
