Title: RIP Vic Chesnutt, 45
Post by: urth on December 24, 2009, 11:59:40 PM

Guess wishing just wouldn't make it so. Heard that singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt passed away earlier today after an overdose of muscle relaxants.

Here's an article on Vic that appeared in No Depression about 13 years ago.

After a day of "is he dead or isn't he?" reportage on the web (the Spinner article linked above has been refuted and then updated), it appears now that Vic Chesnutt really is now dead.

Fresh Air radio program is doing a segment on Chestnutt today.   If you can't listen now, look for the show on the Fresh Air website:
