David Lynch’s message in final public appearance ‘felt like goodbye’ as he was praised by Hugh Jackman for iconic career
DAVID Lynch gave a message that fans said “felt like goodbye” in his last public appearance months before his death at 78.
The visionary director donned sunglasses in a virtual appearance at his foundation’s star-studded benefit concert on September 12, 2024.
The David Lynch Foundation hosted a gala at Lincoln Center in New York City to promote the benefits of transcendental meditation.
Toward the end of the event, hosted by Hugh Jackman, Lynch shared a video message where he presented the Peace on Earth award to Dr. Tony Nader.
After Jackman introduced Lynch as a “creative genius,” Lynch said on the video that he’d “like to talk about nothing.”
Lynch spoke about consciousness and peace before playing a cover of Across the Universe by the Beatles.
Fans of the writer-director were moved by Lynch’s message and shared their reactions on social media following his video appearance.
“I may have just seen the last public appearance of David Lynch,” one viewer shared on a Reddit thread dedicated to the director.
“It felt like a goodbye.”
Another added, “I watched this also. I felt sad. I spoke to David a few weeks ago via zoom. It was a brief and wonderful talk and I hope to again in the future.”
“That is beautiful. Thank you for sharing,” a third shared.
Lynch’s family announced his death in a statement shared to Facebook on Thursday.
