The death of Morphine frontman Mark Sandman was one of the greatest tragedies of '90s alt-rock. In an event that was surely jarring for everyone involved, Sandman suffered a heart attack onstage at an Italian festival in 1999. The singer and bassist died in an ambulance en route to the hospital, prematurely cutting short the career of one of the decade's more inventive bands. Had Sandman lived,...

Morphine - What a great band. I saw them maybe 3 months before Mark's death. They are amazingly talented. Mark Sandman played two saxes at once! The two surviving members, Dana and...(the other name escapes me) are in a band w/ a female singer, not as good but similar, called Twinemen. They played an instore performance a year and a half ago at the now defuct record store, NYCD in Manhatta...
