Yo ung die those who are dear to the gods...
Nicholas Rodney "Nick" Drake (1948-1974) Singer-songwriter, guitarist. Little known during his lifetime, he is now regarded, posthumously, as one of the most influential British singer-songwriters, the author of lyrics permeated with pessimism and pain, in complete harmony with poignant melodies that are, let's say, sad, directly descending from folk themes in a nobly pop key.
He had absolutely no glory or notoriety while alive ("Ah, yes, the one from pincmuun...") but, especially starting from the 1980s, a considerable number of artists then en vogue cited him as one of their inspirations, contributing to create a ritual surrounding him, made of respect and emotion for the work of such a complete and mythologically unhappy artist.
The depressive condition he suffered from, along with the fact that no one knew of his associations with individuals of either his sex or the opposite, led him to express themes of clear renunciation of life and surrender to a possibly liberating death.
Cause of death: overdose (I know, you prefer "overdose," but the minister wishes to speak Italian when there is a word...) of a tricyclic antidepressant. At his funeral, a little over forty attendees, very few of whom knew each other, a clear sign of the isolated compartments in which Nick enclosed phases and places of his life.
His ashes are buried in the small cemetery of the church of Solihull, United Kingdom.
