Vic Chesnutt apparently committed suicide yesterday at the age of 45. Dude was obviously in a lot of pain and according to reports was also in a terrible financial situation due to his medical bills (despite being insured). I wasn't an ardent fan but I've always admired his music and had seen him live a couple of times, including a captivating opening set for Jonathan Richman a few years back. I hope he's at peace now. Reports at all the usual places on the internet.
