doesn't anyone read the news around here ?
A body has been found at the Seattle home of Layne Staley, lead singer and guitarist for the grunge band Alice in Chains.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer quoted unidentified law enforcement sources as saying the body was Staley's.
The person appeared to have been dead for several days, the P-I said.
Like Nirvana and Soundgarden, Alice in Chains was a band prominent in the early 90s Seattle heyday of grunge rock.
The group's first album, Facelift, was released in 1990 and the band quickly rose to prominence, following with albums including Dirt and Alice in Chains.
In a 1996 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Staley spoke of how his drug use influenced his lyrics.
"I wrote about drugs, and I didn't think I was being unsafe or careless by writing about them," he told the magazine.
"Here's how my thinking pattern went: When I tried drugs, they were great, and they worked for me for years, and now they're turning against me - and now I'm walking through hell, and this sucks."
