Vic Chessnutt has died



was taken off life support on christmas day from taking a overdose of muscle relaxants. 

i have actually been devastated by this news as he has been one of my favourite musicians for quite some time. 

his poor family have been left with his healthcare bills due to the fucked up american welfare system. 70 grands worth! there is a website where all the money goes to his family to help with the bills
