Andrew Wood[M-|]Known For: Grunge Rock |
|
|
Andrew Patrick Wood (January 8, 1966 - March 19, 1990) was an American musician who was the lead singer and lyricist for the alternative rock bands Malfunkshun and Mother Love Bone. He formed Malfunkshun in 1980 with his older brother Kevin Wood on guitar and Regan Hagar on drums. The band used alter ego personas onstage; Wood performed as Landrew The Love Child. Though the band only released two songs before going on an extended hiatus, they are often cited as being among the originators of the Seattle grunge movement. While in Malfunkshun, Wood started using drugs, entering rehab in 1985. In 1988, Wood began jamming with Green River members Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament while Malfunkshun was on hiatus. They began writing original material and formed Mother Love Bone the same year, adding guitarist Bruce Fairweather (also a former member of Green River) and drummer Greg Gilmore to the lineup. In 1989, the band signed a deal with PolyGram issuing an E.P., 'Shine', before going on tour, supporting The Dogs D'Amour. Near the end of the year, the band recorded their debut album, 'Apple', which was scheduled for release in 1990. Struggling with drug dependence, Wood checked himself into rehab in 1989, hoping to get clean for the release of Mother Love Bone's debut album. He died in Seattle on March 19, 1990, at the age of 24, after being found in a comatose state by his girlfriend following a heroin overdose. |

'Apple' is the only studio album by Mother Love Bone. Days before the album was slated to be released, lead singer Andrew Wood overdosed on heroin. After a number of days in hospital in a coma, he died, effectively bringing Mother Love Bone to an end. The delayed album would see release later that year in July, and it eventually peaked at number 34 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart in 1992.
