Former Alice in Chains bass player Mike Starr, who went public with his drug problems on the reality TV show "Celebrity Rehab," was found dead in a Salt Lake City house, police said on Tuesday, nine years after the rock band's singer died of an overdose. Starr was 44.
цитата:
A spokesman for the Salt Lake City Police Dept. said officers responded to a call about a possible body at a residence southwest of downtown earlier in the afternoon.
"There is nothing to indicate that this was foul play by another individual," the spokesman said.
He did not have any information about the state of Starr's body, or who made the call. The medical examiner's office will likely conduct an autopsy on Wednesday, but the results of toxicology tests could take up to two months.
Starr was fired from the band shortly after the release of its breakthrough 1992 album "Dirt," which was packed with drug-related songs. In 1994, he was sentenced to 90 days in a Texas jail for stealing a piece of luggage at the Houston Intercontinental Airport.
His former bandmates meanwhile, with replacement Mike Inez on board, enjoyed even greater success at the helm of the Seattle "grunge" movement. But singer Layne Staley's drug battles put the brakes on the band in 1996. His decomposed body was found in a Seattle apartment in April 2002.
Starr was possibly the last person to see Staley alive, and admitted to feeling deep guilt about not calling 911 after a sick Staley had warned him against it.
"I wish I hadn't been high on benzodiazepine (an anti-anxiety sedative). I wouldn't have just walked out the door," a tearful Starr said last year on "Celebrity Rehab," a VH1 reality show hosted by addiction medicine specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky.
Starr said later on Pinsky's syndicated "Loveline" radio show that he felt "naked without Layne in this life. Still to this day, I don't care ... about them dismissing me from the band. I love Layne for the human being that he is. I just really miss him."
Starr was unable to beat his demons despite the rehab stint. He was arrested in Salt Lake City three weeks ago on an outstanding warrant related to an earlier drugs charge, and was also carrying unauthorized prescription medications.
The band's surviving original members, guitarist Jerry Cantrell and drummer Sean Kinney, said in a statement they were mourning the loss of their friend and requested privacy. Alice in Chains has reunited with some success in recent years with new singer/guitarist William DuVall.
Pinsky said on Twitter: "Devastating to hear of Mike Starr succumbing to his illness. So very sad. Our prayers are with his family."
TMZ, which broke the news of Starr's death, quoted his father as saying, "It's a terrible shock and tragedy."

Alice In Chains приступают к работе над новым альбомом
Ветераны гранжа, сиэтльские альт-рокеры Alice In Chains приступили к работе над новым студийным диском, последователем «Black Gives Way To Blue» трехлетней давности. По словам лидера команды Джерри Кантрелла, музыканты планируют уже «в ближайшие месяцы» отправиться в студию, а пока – накапливают материал.
Определяя очертания будущего диска, гитарист пока может сказать лишь одно: музыканты не собираются привлекать к его записи приглашенных звезд – как это было с «Black Gives Way To Blue», в работе над которым засветился Элтон Джон (Elton John).
«Элтон Джон – это особый разговор, – объясняет Кантрелл. – Это приятное исключение. Он сам захотел сотрудничать с нами, и как я мог отказать человеку, который и вдохновил меня в свое время на занятия музыкой? Работать с ним было очень здорово, мы отлично провели время».
По словам Джерри Кантрелла, музыканты могли бы приступить к записи новой пластинки гораздо раньше, если бы не полученная им в прошлом году травма плеча. «Мне пришлось пройти курс лечения, чтобы иметь возможность снова брать в руки гитару, - говорит гитарист. – Но все это время я не прекращал сочинять музыку».
Напомним, что изданный в 2009-м «Black Gives Way To Blue» стал первым альбомом после семилетнего перерыва в деятельности Alice In Chains, вызванного смертью вокалиста Лейна Стэли. Он был записан при участии новобранца Уильяма Дюволла. Он же будет записывать вокальные партии и для нового диска.

LOOKING BACK AT 1991′S RIP PARTY FEATURING PEARL JAM, ALICE IN CHAINS & SOUNDGARDEN
Official media invitations to the fifth RIP PARTY to be held at the Hollywood Palladium on Sunset Boulevard read ‘Blowout, Massacre, Party, Whatever! And while thankfully there was no massacre, there was a blowout. There was even a rumor that Metallica would close the show as secret special guests. The kings of metal had shared the stage with members of Guns N’ Roses and Skid Row a year previously at the same venue, but by the fall of 1991, Seattle musicians had invaded Los Angeles.
The party included Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, along with Thunder and the one and only Spinal Tap. Jonathan Gold put it bluntly in his Los Angeles Times review that the bands from the Northwest did not add much to the Sunday night’s proceedings. Gold commented, “But for most people the highlight was probably Spinal Tap.”
The gathering in LA was the first public show that brought together three of the four heavyweight bands from the ‘grunge’ era, into a live setting. Nirvana the missing piece, were over 2,000 miles away in Atlanta promoting Nevermind. Lonn Friend, who was the editor of RIP magazine at the time and a regular contributor to Headbangers Ball with his segment ‘Friend at Large’ recalls the organization of putting such a show together. “I organized the gathering. I booked the talent for all seven RIP parties, personal calls and relationships and creative partners. Columbia flew me up to Seattle with Kevin Kennedy PR and Nick Terzo A&R to see Alice in Chains at a theater, before the first LP (Facelift).”
Moments after Pearl Jam’s set, Eddie Vedder, along with Chris Cornell and Layne Staley, were whisked backstage for a short interview with Friend. For many fans of this era, this segment, infamously archived now on YouTube, is the crème de la crème of footage documenting the Grunge scene. All in the same space at one timem and all in their prime. For the so called Generation X this was Jagger, Lennon and Morrison in one room. “(That year) RIP covered Alice in Chains, they played our Seattle party with Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, I did a brief interview for my MTV Headbanger’s Ball segment with all three singers backstage. I was blessed to foster strong relationships and wear the ‘gatekeeper’ colors,” says Friend.
Staley stood behind Friend and proclaimed about the city that he loathed, “It’s the best thing that ever happened to LA,” concerning the Seattle bands that were playing that night. Vedder seemed hesitant, even a little shy, whilst Cornell looked the most relaxed. Immediately following the interview, Staley took to the stage with Alice in Chains and they opened up with ‘Sickman,’ which would appear a year later on Dirt. The only other song from that album played that night was ‘Would.’ Duff McKagan from Guns N’ Roses joined the band for set closer ‘Man in the Box.’ McKagan, who was born in Seattle, had hooked up with the band a few days earlier at a Pearl Jam gig, and thereafter members of Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains crashed at McKagan’s house.
Three hours later when Spinal Tap finished the show, and it was definite that there would not be an appearance from Metallica, the crowd dispersed. But alas there would be one final special guest: Temple of the Dog! By this time however only 500 of the 4,000 patrons were left in the building, underlining the saying that the show is never over until the fat lady sings.
Soon after the show, Alice in Chains joined back up with the Van Halen tour and the three singers would not be reunited until Pearl Jam’s pirate radio show over three years later in January, 1995. The RIP parties were indeed something unique, bringing the absolute best talent together for one memorable evening. It is evident that in the early 1990’s, rock fans were spoilt for choice, but it all came at once and departed far too soon.
Lonn Friend who went onto write two books, Life on Planet Rock and the inspiring Sweet Demotion: How an Almost Famous Rock Journalist Lost Everything and Found Himself (Almost), reflects warmly about his time at RIP . “We chronicled the decade of decadence it was a group effort. RIP was the best of its time.”
Today is the birthday of legendary Alice In Chains and Mad Season frontman Layne Staley. Layne would have been 45 years old today. He passed away over 10 years ago, when he was 34 years old. Still hurts to write that, really wish I could be writing ‘Happy birthday to Layne Staley, who turns 45 today.’ I always like marking these occasions on the site though, any excuse to have Layne front and center on GrungeReport.net is a good thing.
Layne is still missed terribly, but his music continues to keep his spirit alive and that will live on long after we are all gone.
Quoting another fallen 90′s alternative rock legend, Shannon Hoon, in the Blind Melon song Change, “But I know we all can’t stay here forever, so I want to write my words on the face of today.”

Конечно депрессивные ребята но что то в их музыке подкупает. Вообщем недавно на днях про них вспомнил, поставил и понял что и через 12 лет они для меня звучат актуально! В принципе конечно вкусовщина но все таки показатель далеко не каждая группа выдерживает испытание временем.
