Jani Lane, dead

/ hsoi

Jani Lane, best known as the (former/original) lead singer of the hair metal band Warrant was found dead at age 47.

Googling for more information, there isn’t any… other than he was found dead in a hotel room.

Jani’s been struggling with drugs and alcohol for quite some time, lapsing in and out. Following all his ups and downs via Metal Sludge over the years, you wondered when this was going to happen… you hoped that it wouldn’t, you hoped he’d pull things together. But alas. 😦  Even if the cause of death isn’t substance-related, you could see how it was all taking a huge toll on him.

R.I.P. Jani.

Here’s my favorite Warrant song, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” (tho I’ll agree that “Dog Eat Dog” was an underrated album)

  1. Very sad. Drugs take too many talented artists. My favorite band from years ago was Alice in Chains – Layne of course OD’d many years ago, and then Mike Starr just a couple months back.

    • We don’t know yet how Jani died, but given his history we can’t help but look in that direction.

      It just sucks. Too many die.
