Singer Julee Cruise, best known for her work with David Lynch on "Twin Peaks" and "Blue Velvet," has died at age 65.

Cruise’s husband, Edward Grinnan, confirmed the news in a Facebook post Thursday night.

"She left this realm on her own terms," he wrote of his late wife. "No regrets. She is at peace. I played her [the B-52s song] Roam during her transition. Now she will roam forever. Rest In Peace, my love, and love to you all."

Grinnan later told NPR that his wife died by suicide and struggled with "lupus, depression and alcohol and drug addiction."

Falling (Twin Peaks Theme)


"Falling" hit #1 in Australia and #7 in United Kingdom. It got some moderate airplay in the U.S. but charted only at #11 on the alternative (modern rock) chart.

"Rockin' Back Inside My Heart" transitions into "The World Spins" with an appearance by The Giant on Twin Peaks. The murder scene is mostly cut from this clip...

 
Since it was mentioned in the article as the final song she heard, here is "Roam." And Julee had been a touring member of the B-52s circa 1990...
