Diane Luckey, aka Q Lazzarus, was born in Neptune, New Jersey on 12th December 1960 and went on to lead the band Q Lazzarus And The Resurrection. She rose to fame with the track ‘Goodbye Horses’, which was used in Jonathan Demme’s 1988 film Married To The Mob and also famously in 1991’s Silence Of The Lambs.
‘Goodbye Horses’ was later covered by artists including Jon Hopkins and Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke, and has featured in DJ sets by the likes of Optimo and Michael Mayer.
Earlier this year, a fundraiser was created to help launch the Q Lazzarus documentary, Goodbye Horses: The Many Lives of Q Lazzarus. The film was steered by the director and writer Eva Aridjis, a close friend and collaborator of Luckey.
