Heath Ledger Paid Tribute To Nick Drake In Film

Recently deceased Australian born actor Heath Ledger paid tribute to English singer Nick Drake in a video which shows Ledger drowning.

"I was obsessed with his story and his music and I pursued it for a while and still have hopes to kind of tell his story one day," Ledger told media at a press conference at the Venice Film Festival.

The film is set to 'Black Eyed Dog', a song Drake had named after a quote from Winston Churchill, in which he referred to depression as a "black eyed dog".

The Drake estate currently owns the video. It is not known whether or not they will release it.

Drake overdosed on anti-depressants at the age of 26.
