Jeff Buckley began a relationship with musician Joan Wasser in 1994.
He reportedly proposed marriage to her shortly before his death.
Who did Jeff Buckley date?
Buckley was roommates with actress Brooke Smith from 1990 to 1991.
During a tribute concert to his father, Tim Buckley, in April 1991, Buckley met artist Rebecca Moore, and the pair dated until 1993.
This relationship became the inspiration for his record Grace[140] and provoked his permanent move to New York.
From 1994 to 1995, Buckley had an intense relationship with Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins. They wrote and recorded a duet together, “All Flowers in Time Bend Towards the Sun”, which has never been released commercially.
After Buckley’s death, a collection of demo recordings and a full-length album he had been reworking for his second album were released as Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk – the compilation being overseen by his mother, Mary Guibert, band members and old friend Michael J. Clouse, as well as Chris Cornell. The album achieved gold sales in Australia in 1998.
Three other albums composed of live recordings have also been released, along with a live DVD of a performance in Chicago. A previously unreleased 1992 recording of “I Shall Be Released”, sung by Buckley over the phone on live radio, was released on the album For New Orleans.
