RIP Mike Starr

[Ceedubya]

Just read that Mike Starr was found dead today. Very sad to hear he relapsed. Only two ways drug use ends, you get clean or you die.

I was just listening to Alice in Chains on a road trip on Friday. :rockin:

Too bad. I know he'd been fighting a drug addiction (heroin I think) for a long time.

RIP. Alice in Chains is definately one of the best grundge bands of all time.

He was busted in Salt Lake last week with prescription drugs. Not sure if his death is heroin related, but it is certainly drug related.

From wikipedia:

Starr, however, mentioned on an episode of Celebrity Rehab that he was kicked out of the band due to his budding drug addiction - an amazing acheivement, given the amount of drug use in the band.
