R.I.P.

Heath Ledger loved Nick Drake’s music. Drake was a singer and song writer who committed suicide in 1974. Last September Ledger was a guest at the Venetian Mostra festival when he promoted the biography of Bob Dylan, ‘I’m Not There’. On that occasion he spoke about his obsession with Drake whom he described as a very mysterious figure. "I was obsessed with his story and his music and I pursued it for a while and still have hopes to kind of tell his story one day". Ledger filmed and directed a video in his honour. The video has not been published on the Internet, but many describe it as a black and white video featuring the song “Black Eyed Dog”. As the video nears the end, Heath turns the camera on himself and drowns in a bathtub. The video was incorporated into a multimedia installation dubbed “A Place To Be” that was exhibited last September at the Bumbershoot Festival and at last October’s celebration honouring Nick Drake. “Black Eyed Dog” is the last song Drake wrote before he committed suicide with an overdose of antidepressants.
