Layne unplugged9/25/2023 The timing of his heroin use kicking into overdrive could not have been more ill-fated for Layne Staley. The tensions and problems his addiction would cause down the line with the rest of his bandmates in Alice in Chains would make touring difficult at best, and with management trying to keep his severe drug addiction under wraps, only raised more speculations on what was the true health condition and well-being of Layne Staley.īy that point, his chances of fully extricating himself from using drugs of any kind, especially heroin, seemed to become more bleak. It was at the time when the band he had founded, Alice In Chains, became one of the biggest and most popular bands in the world after the massive commercial and critical success of their second studio-release ‘Dirt’. That rabbit hole of drug addiction that Layne Staley found himself in began in the early 90’s– in 1992 to be exact–when his former fiancé, the late Demri Parrott, had introduced him to heroin. By then, his badly decomposed body, still seated upright in front of a flickering television and surrounded by numerous drug paraphernalia, was discovered by the police along with his accountant when they kicked open the door to his condominium located in a university district of Seattle. It was a horrifying sight… and it marked the end for Layne Staley. It took over two weeks before anyone knew he had died from a lethal overdose and combination of heroin and cocaine. Layne Staley’s drug-related death is the most tragic and haunting of any other artist who suffered the same fate. ![]() ![]() LAYNE STALEY Photo Credit: FRANK MICELOTTA
