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!

An amazing man that is very loving and very kind, most likely very handsome aswell. If any girl is to have a man named Layne as a friend or a boyfriend perhaps, they should never let him go.

Just about the biggest compliment ever. The product of the names of the two most awesome people and songwriters and musicians ever, Layne Staley and Kurt Cobain.

Infamous crossdresser

The perfect couple. even though Layne seems to forget about Lauren unintentionally.
