I remember that on that occasion was my sister - with the grace of an elephant - to give me the news: "I think that is died that singer of that group that plays you, Alice -something ", then confermatami news from a friend music that knows more than me and you all put together, this time to tell me was the fact that a colleague at the Last night had been notified of the death of Alice in Chains bassist wrong (Mike Inez), which fortunately colleague this morning - before taking pain - had already checked his sources.
Mike Starr had left Alice in Chains in 1993 ( was replaced by Mike Inez) because of his heroin addiction and in 2009 had participated in the reality show Celebrity Rehab , in which celebrities tell the public their problems with drugs and alcohol, and their struggle to escape from these dependencies. Last February, Mike Starr had been arrested because they found in possession of drugs for which the prescription is required: Starr, however, had only drugs but no prescription. On
official website of Alice in Chains, returned to prominence in 2009 with the album Black Gives Way to Blue, this message appeared: " Members of Alice in Chains are mourning the loss of Their friend and ask That the media RESPECT Their privacy - and the privacy of the Starr family - During this Difficult Time.
