Billy Corgan has shared a tribute to late filmmaker David Lynch, whose death was announced Thursday.
In an Instagram post, the Smashing Pumpkins frontman writes that he’s “truly saddened to hear of the passing of David Lynch.”
“Working with him was like a dream out of one of his movies, and I treasure the times I got to speak with him and hear first-hand his vision for a film,” Corgan continues. “I truly encourage anyone who loves movies and television to watch all that David produced. He was a true artist, through and through.”
The Pumpkins song “Eye” was featured on the soundtrack to Lynch’s film Lost Highway, which was produced by Nine Inch Nails‘ Trent Reznor.
Lynch, 78, was known for directing movies including Mulholland Drive, The Elephant Man and Blue Velvet. He also co-created the TV show Twin Peaks.
