Layne Staley 

Frontman for grunge band 'Alice in Chains'. He had a mesmerising voice and a troubled life. He died on April 5th 2002 in the worst way possible. He had taken a mixture of cocaine and heroin known as a 'speedball' and overdosed on it. The creepy thing was that his body was found two weeks after he had actually died. This is why you don't do drugs, kids!
Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley both died on the same day (April 5th) and they were both heroin addicts. Is there some kind of connection here?

I love Layne's voice on 'Down in a Hole'. It's hauntingly beautiful.
Laynee is a caring person, she loves spending time with the people she loves. Laynee will Stand by your side but she does this because she wants you to stand by her side too. If Laynee is stressed she is yell, scream, hit, and cry but she doesn't like that she does that. Laynee has anger issues when she is mad she will want to break something
