SeductiveNun Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Former Warrant lead singer Jani Lane dies at 47Associated Press Updated: 08/12/2011 07:02:45 AM CDT LOS ANGELES - Jani Lane, the former lead singer of the metal rock band Warrant, has died in Los Angeles. He was 47. Officer Sara Faden says Lane's body was found Thursday in a Woodland Hills hotel. She had no immediate information on the cause or circumstances of his death. With his long blond hair and tight leather outfits, Lane embodied the excess of 1980s "hair metal" rock bands. He joined Warrant in 1984 and wrote such hits as "Heaven," "Down Boys" and "Cherry Pie." He had an on-and-off relationship with the band, leaving it in 1992 before returning and quitting again several times. In recent years, he appeared in VH1's "Celebrity Fit Club" and made news for a drunken driving arrest. He is survived by two daughters from two previous marriages. Was never a hugh fan of Warrant back in the day, but I did really enjoy a couple of their songs and the one time I saw them in concert, they pumped a lot of life back into a show that had been wrecked by Slaughter who had finished their set with 2 ballads.

whomper Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 He always seemed like a decent guy. That song Uncle Toms Cabin is probably their best tune. RIP Jani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
