Committed suicide at 45.
He was a musicians, in a wheelchair since age 19 I think, was drinking and driving, and was of course badly injured.
I first heard of him about a year ago, just one song, the haunting 'Supernatural" which sounds like its about his accident.
I guess Michael Stipe discoved him. A few weeks back, I actually listened to an NPR interview with him and Guy Picciotto from Fugazi. Guy and Vic were collaborating on some project, and Vic talked openly about how he had considered and attemped suicide at least 4 or 5 times. Sad to see this.
