Van Conner Dies: Screaming Trees Founding Bassist Was 55

Van Conner, the Screaming Trees co-founding bassist who played on the rock band’s hits including “All I Know” and “Nearly Lost You,” died Tuesday of pneumonia. He was 55. His brother and bandmate, Gary Lee Conner, posted the news on social media.

Co-written by the Conners and Lanegan, it also reached the Modern Rock Top 10. The album was the group’s biggest commercial success, reaching No. 134 on the Billboard 200.
Josh Homme, the former Kyuss guitarist and future Queens of the Stone Age frontman, joined the group for its 1996 tour.
But Screaming Trees would break up by 2000, and Van Conner went on to play in various other
