GOSSIP:	Rapper Darryl McDaniels, a.k.a. DMC from Run DMC, credits McLachlan with saving him from suicide after he heard the song 'Angel' and was able to reassess his life through listening to the album Surfacing. They appeared together on the track 'Just Like Me' in 2006. Has been playing instruments, including the piano and guitars, since the age of 5. Started Lilith Fair, the first all female performer concert tour. It lasted 3 summers from 1997 to 1999 and toured North America. Was the first artist signed to Nettwerk recording label. She was 17 at the time. Ranked #69 on VH1's 100 Greatest Women of Rock N Roll Her husband has played drums for her since 1991 The first instrument she learned to play was the ukulele. Her song Angel kept rapper DMC alive while dealing with the discovery of his adoption. He heard it on the radio and immediately felt the pull of the music. It gave him hope and gave him the strength to make it through that dark time in his life. As a result, he asked her to collaborate with him on his solo song Just Like Me. During one recording session, she revealed she too had been adopted. Founded Lilith Fair, a tour which showcased female musicians in the late 1990s. Was sued by Uwe Vandrei, an obsessed fan from Ottawa, Ontario, who alleged that his letters to her had been the basis of her hit single Possession in 1994. This lawsuit never came to trial, however, as the plaintiff was found dead in an apparent suicide before the trial began. The lawsuit was also challenging for the Canadian legal system; because of Vandrei's psychological state, special precautions were planned to ensure McLachlan's safety if at any time she had to be in the same location as Vandrei. This topic was explored in length in Canadian author Judith Fitzgerald's book, Building A Mystery: The Story of Sarah McLachlan & Lilith Fair. The title of McLachlan's song Do What You Have to Do was cited in Kenneth Starr's report as the subject of a letter from Monica Lewinsky to Bill Clinton in 1998. The Song Full of Grace was used in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, in the episode Becoming Part 2 in 1998. A second McLachlan song, Prayer of St. Francis was used in the 2002 Buffy episode Grave. McLachlan and Nettwerk were sued by Darryl Neudorf, a Vancouver musician (and onetime member of 54-40) who alleged that he had made a significant and uncredited contribution to the song writing on Touch. The judge in this suit ultimately ruled in McLachlan's favor. (1999) Covered the Beatles song 'Blackbird' for the movie I Am Sam, starring Sean Penn, Michelle Pfeiffer and Dakota Fanning. (2001) The song The Path of Thorns was the 50 millionth song downloaded from Apple's iTunes Music Store. Her song I Will Remember You has been widely used in North America as a graduation song. The song Angel has been used to remember the dead. (2004) Many of McLachlan's songs have had a great deal of club play as remixes. Two albums consisting of popular remixes have been released, Remixed in 2001 (first limited to Canada, then released in the United States in 2003) and Bloom: Remix Album in 2005. As of 2006, McLachlan has sold over 30 million albums worldwide. MORE SARAH MCLACHLAN TRIVIA
