The initial family announcement read: “It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of the man and the artist, David Lynch.
Honoring Lynch through global meditation
We would appreciate some privacy at this time.
There’s a big hole in the world now that he’s no longer with us. But, as he would say, ‘Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.’ It’s a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies all the way.”
Hollywood mourned the loss, with tributes pouring in from industry figures. Nicolas Cage hailed Lynch as “a singular genius in cinema, one of the greatest artists of this or any time,” while Kyle MacLachlan credited Lynch for his career and life.
Before his passing, Lynch was working on a new limited series for Netflix. Although health issues prevented the project from being completed, Netflix co-CEO mentioned their eagerness to work with Lynch. On January 20th, fans and admirers of David Lynch are invited to join his children in a special meditation as a tribute to his lasting legacy.
