De Vos was born in 1962 in the village of Wippelgem near Ghent as the youngest of 7 children.
He had his secondary education at the Sint-Lievenscollege in Ghent.
As a toddler, he knew that he wanted to become a rockstar, a job he described as a privilege rather than a job, once he had it.
With his original band Gorky, De Vos ended third in Humo's Rock Rally in 1990.
Together with Noordkaap, who won the same Rock Rally, he brought the genre of Dutch language rock music to the people's attention.
After Gorky disbanded in 1993, Luc De Vos continued under the name Gorki.
Stijn Meuris described the genre of Gorki's songs and De Vos's lyrics as "Flemish poetry with the boots in the clay" and "I have no clue what this guy was talking about, but I understood him".
With his bands Gorky/Gorki, he had 3 singles and 12 albums in the Flemish charts (the album charts only start in 1995, i.e. after his first albums were released).
This included 5 top ten albums.
Luc De Vos wrote columns for, among others, Flemish radio station Studio Brussel and the Ghent city magazine Zone 09/.
He also wrote several books, the most recent of which, Paddenkoppenland (Toadheadsland), was described as an autobiography even though De Vos himself denied this.
Temporary side projects of De Vos include English language rock formation Automatic Buffalo which he started with the members of Ashbury Faith, and a solo tour in 2010.
He died of acute organ failure on the 29 November 2014 in his working apartment in Ghent.
Luc De Vos was found dead in the early evening of 29 November 2014 in his working apartment in Ghent.
After an autopsy, both suicide and malicious intent were ruled out.
The cause of death was concluded to be acute failure of vital organs.
He left a wife and a son.
De Vos' public funeral at Saint Peter's Church in Ghent took place on Saturday 6 December 2014.
Around 15,000 people assembled outside on the Saint Peter's Square as the church was full.
He was buried in the famous Catholic cemetery of Campo Santo.
Luc De Vos's most famous song was "Mia".
Though originally a B-side, it soon grew to be one of the most popular songs in Flanders, as well as gaining a cult following in the Netherlands, having been voted top of multiple radio station's lists of most timeless songs, including reaching the #1 spot three years in a row on "De Tijdloze 100", the best song of all-time list voted for by the listeners of Studio Brussel.
