Layne Staley... lead singer of "Alice In Chains". Found dead in his home today, April 20th, 2002, of a suspected drug overdose. Died several days ago and his body was just discovered today. A great songwriter with a tremendous and unique voice and part of one of the most popular "Seatle Bands".

Sadly, he is another victim of drugs. All too many innocent people need help dealing with the addiction and maybe some day we will not be forced to hear such shocking news of our loved one's untimely deaths.

Thank you Layne for the endless hours of enjoyment you have provided me with your music.

God rest his soul.

 
I think it sux that we lose so many people to drugs. A person like him tuched so many more lives then he ever knew. I only hope peoplewill learn from his death how bad substance use can be.

unfortunately that will probably never happen...Seems all the good bands (especially here in Seattle) have drug issues. On an awkward note.. those that manage to get past their addictions. (Eddie Veddor sp?) of Pearl Jam lose their magic for song writing..

It kills me when people say "so-and-so died from being a VICTIM to drugs". They weren't a victim. They CHOSE to do those drugs. I'm not saying I'm a saint. I've tried my share. But to make it sound as though "drugs" victimized somebody is silly. I love Alice in Chains but when something like this happens, it makes me lose respect. Typical though, when someone has it all, they have to find a "nothing" to die for.
