Heath Ledger to Release Two Posthumous Music Videos

Two music videos directed by Heath Ledger before his unexpected death in January 2008 will be released this year.

The videos are for Modest Mouse‘s “King Rat,” and Grace Woodroofe‘s cover of David Bowie’s “Quicksand.”  

Says Modest Mouse singer Isaac Brock:

“My fiance and some of us in the band went out on a boat with [Ledger] and his family and friends and talked about the idea. The idea sort of dropped, but then he just sent me an email saying that he wanted to do it.”
