NOTE: Today marks the 20th anniversary of Alice In Chains frontman Layne Staley death.
In October 1996, Layne’s longtime girlfriend Demri Parrott passed away from complications of her own drug use, and the singer went into isolation, rarely leaving his Seattle apartment, his grief overwhelming. There were rumours of his death and that he had lost an arm due to gangrene. It was said that he’d lost most of his teeth.
Remarkably, he recorded two more tracks with Alice In Chains in 1998, "Get Born Again" and "Died", which featured on the "Music Bank" boxset, and then a cover of Pink Floyd’s "Another Brick In The Wall" with the Class Of 99, featuring Tom Morello.
In October of ’98, he made his last public appearance, and was rarely seen again. His body was found on April 18, 2002. He’d been dead for two weeks and weighed just 86lbs.
This is a truly legendary performance.
A must have.
