Layne Staley was an American musician. He is best known as the lead singer and co-songwriter for the rock band Alice in Chains, which he co-founded with guitarist Jerry Cantrell in 1987 in Seattle, Washington.

 

Ironically, Staley and fellow musician Kurt Cobain both died on April 5th (in different years) in Seattle. In an MTV interview, which didn't surface to the public until almost a year after Staley's death, Staley said he knew he was "near death". The interview reveals that Staley's father left the family when Staley was only eight years old and that Staley somehow believed that if he became a (famous) rock star his father would return.
