Initial speculation was that he'd committed suicide, but the autopsy confirmed that he had no illegal drugs in his system, and his estate insists it was simply a tragic accident. When Jeff had read his father's obituaries in 1975, he'd been devastated to see no mention of himself. Little did he know that, after just six years of fame, his own tributes would far outshine those of his dad. Mourning the lost of a huge talent, U2's Bono stated, "Jeff was a pure drop in an ocean of noise."For more on Jeff and Tim Buckley, read Dream Brother by David Browne, HarperCollins.
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
