David Berman, a singer-songwriter who formed the 1990s indie group Silver Jews, has died, according to his music label. He was 52.
Berman had dealt with drug addiction for years and had survived several overdoses and at least one suicide attempt.
He talked to Pitchfork about his stance on performing in 2005,"I believe that intermittent live performance has cut short the writing lives of touring musicians. If you are making an argument with history you don't waste your energy and brain cells on sales, publicity, relentless travel, and other adjoining tasks. The less my body moves, the more energy my brain has to write."
The group disbanded after playing a final show on Jan. 31, 2009, in the 333-foot deep Cumberland Caverns in Tennessee.
