Ex-Alice In Chains Bassist Mike Starr Found Dead

"Mike Starr was born April 4, 1966, in Honolulu. He rose to prominence in the Seattle scene as bassist for Diamond Lie, which featured Cantrell and Kinney. Once Staley entered the fold, they changed their name to Alice in Chains and signed a major-label deal. Starr appears on the group's debut album, Facelift, which produced the monster hit "Man in the Box." He's also on the band's follow-up EP release, Sap, and their second album, Dirt, which was released in September 1992."

Fucking bad-ass show:

RIP and thank you for Dirt. The early 90s were good music to grow up with. <3

Did he die of boredom whilst listening to his own music?

RIP....random drug abuser who corrupted the minds of many.

R.I.P.. I wonder if it was drugs that killed him?
Now, he can join Layne Staley in the rock and roll Nirvana.

Taking drugs like heroine does have its consequences.

I watched him on Celebrity Rehab. He came across as a really nice person, but he had a very serious opiate addiction and you could tell he was tormented about it. He seemed to be doing better, but you know how addictions are.
