Duncan Sheik

Now, I think this conversation is a fun one.

It is also very sad because just as with the loss of the icon that is Dolly Parton, we recently lost the brilliant composer Duncan Sheik.

And while the world was never really truly ready to lose Dolly, she had lived an incredibly full and extraordinary life.

Duncan Sheik passed away both tragically young and shockingly quickly.

And at the time, he had multiple shows actively in development.

He had an off-Broadway musical, a new musical about to go into rehearsals.

Another musical, Nero, is coming to Southwark Playhouse Elephant, officially opening at the beginning of November here in London.

There is, of course, also the off-Broadway revival of Spring Awakening, hugely anticipated, and he's contributed a handful of other musical theater scores as well for American Psycho, for The Secret Life of Bees, underrated musical.

It's a WIP afternoon show with Ike, Spike, and Fritz, your 43090s.

Rest in peace, Duncan Sheik, who sings that, who passed away on Friday.

Had this hit, then put out a few other albums, then actually ended up writing Broadway shows.

My wife and I saw, there was a Broadway show of American Psycho.

up BVs and then I start recording and I'm singing my heart out.

I was doing a barely breathing Duncan Sheik tribute performance and I look in my fucking computer and it's just flatlining like Duncan Sheik himself.

That's not a joke.

We do not joke about the deceased.

Do you know how much I love Duncan Sheik? Do you know that last week I gave Duncan Sheik A shout out and then he passed on four days later.

Not good.

Barely breathing.

OK, I'm going to rub a little bit on everyone's forehead when they enter my yard and sit their asses on my fresh cushions.

Yeah.

R.I.P. Duncan Sheik, singer-songwriter, 56 years old.

I am barely breathing.

I can't find the year.

Imagining you're there.

It's kind of a bop.

This Duncan Sheik,

you know, I don't know what it was.

Thank you.

Well, we just talked about him yesterday, and things took a decided turn for the worse as Duncan Sheik has passed away at the age of 56.

So yesterday he was barely breathing.

Yes.

Was hospitalized in Las Vegas after a suicide attempt last week.

Days after we were told that 90s singer Duncan Sheik was in critical condition, we found out that he passed away in Manhattan last Friday after suffering a cardiac arrest.

He was 56.

Lady Gaga and her fiancé, Michael Polanski, have shared the name of their new daughter, Rose Bean Polanski.

sad.

Also, Duncan Sheik, of course, has passed away.

after being, I think, due to cardiac arrest, if I'm not mistaken.

So Riot is going to hit different because...

And I was thinking about this all weekend, Todd.

Duncan Sheik is still not breathing.

Still

not breathing.
