5th April 2002 Layne Staley, lead singer of Alice in chains and mad season took an overdose of speedball. Incidentally Kurt cobain had also died on this date 8 years previously.
He was found sadly 2 weeks later.
The man was a legend. His voice was/is amazing and has been the influence for many other singers.
I saw AIC at Manchester poly many moons ago.
Their set on mtv unplugged is one of the best , but bitter sweet sets they played.
I don't want to remember him as a addict. But as a man of so much talent who lost his way when his girlfriend died.
Today I will play his music and remember him.
