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.

Wayne staley
Scientific name: Stalebread
This young full-blooded beast was first discovered in a bogan dominated area of society called tasman district high school, wayne was born in 1990 with an amazing ability known as ADHD, this gives him the ability to have amazing amounts of energy as he leaps from detention to relocation much in the same way as a flying squirel jumps from tree to tree.

Wayne staley has never nad one friend in his whole life as he is so completely hyperactive that no-one can handle him, this hyperactiveness is battled by giving him drugs that are otherwise illegal. This drug is known as ecstasy. unfortunately this does not affect him at all and his fellow students have often expressed to the teachers the need to put him on sedatives. young wayne has recently been expelled from newtown high for being something which can only be described as psychotic....... i have not seen this amazing creature for some time now and hope for his sake that i never see him again lest i gaet the urge to stab him repeatedly in the chest with a blunt knife.
