    No one put a gun to his head (or Layne's) and forced him to try heroin.

    I don't feel bad for the guy. I feel bad for his family.

    Yeah, it's insane he's still going. Sucks about Mike Starr, thought he was clean too, at least he was for a while when he was on the show this year for an episode.

    Very sad, Heroin and Opiates are very hard to kick. You can stop them for a little bit but once you get the taste of the opiate loaded feeling it's hard to ever not want it all the time.

    Sad day man.

    I really thought he was one of the few who had it beat. I watched his struggle on celeberity rehab. When he came back the following season to talk to that cast, I really thought he had that sh1t beat. He got arrested not to long ago and now BAM he's gone

    Excellent point! Now his family has to deal with his stupidity and the bad choices he made.

    At least they can jam together in hell. Train wreck waiting to happen. Sad, but drugs are bad.

    I met the whole band once, Jerry Cantrell was very cool and as we all know, could wail on a guitar! Layne Staley was seriously struggling with his heroin demons! And this was back in the early '90's.
