Why did none of you tell me that Duncan Sheik died?

Duncan Sheik, an acclaimed singer-songwriter who rose to fame with his 1996 hit song "Barely Breathing" and later found success on Broadway, has died, his family announced on Friday. He was 56.
The cause of death was cardiac arrest, his mother, Suzanne Sheik, told the New York Times.
In a post on his Instagram page, Shiek's family said he "passed away last night surrounded by love."

Main reason is I never heard of him before
There were other reasons, but I won't burden you with them

Pretty sure that's not even possible.

If I wasn't listening to pop radio at the time of that one hit, why should I have heard of him?
I do wish I'd seen him in concert though, He could have played a medley of his hit.

That song almost defines the alt rock genre of the 90’s.
Story goes he wrote the song for other people to record but they didn’t do it how he intended. Finally he said I’ll do it and recorded it himself.
Beautiful song, the bridge at the end is timeless with those haunting piano notes.
RIP Duncan

One of my favorite pop rock songs of the 90s
You forget those radio songs from when you're less than 10, and I was very happy when I first had XM radio in my car to find it again
Love me some one hit wonders
RIP

Never heard of her. Seriously.

I always consider "Barely Breathing" as one of the best songs of the decade.
"Laid" by James is another. I keep going back and forth with those 2 (and others) about what song IS the best of the 90s.
Oh, and for the smart asses, he was way more well known for his work on Broadway and some movie soundtracks (if I'm not mistaken) than his "measly" one hit.

It's in the "Endless Sleep" thread.

That album-a continuation of the singer/songwriter era-was one of the best of the genre of the 90's-melodic-incredible songwriting, really from the heart-beautiful and charming-very tender and vulnerable even-my daughters and I spent 100 days listening to Duncan.
RIP.
RIP.

His greatest hit album is often in the CD bins. Just that one song over and over.

Some brainless, moronic posts in this thread.
Dude was a fairly good singer and songwriter and Barely Breathing might have been one of the best 90s songs in a decade with nothing but not-stop hits.
May he RIP he was way too young. And a lot of yall need to keep your unintelligent posts to yourselves.
