As a request to various viewers , I visit the last house of Layne Staley, the lead singer of Alice in Chains, where he sadly passed away on April 5, 2002. I explain the story behind his death and the days following including his funeral and why there is no gravesite. Tough video to do but I hope his many fans are able to somewhat pay their respects through this video. Https:// Opening song is Ellegy (How Will I?) By Jory Nash from the album New Blue Day. Second song is untitled by me. Layne Thomas Staley (born Layne Rutherford Staley, August 22, 1967 – April 5, 2002) was an American musician known for his role as lead singer and co-songwriter of the rock band Alice in Chains. The band rose to international fame in the early 1990s during Seattle's grunge movement, and became known for Staley's distinct vocal style and tenor voice, as well as the harmonized vocals between him and guitarist/vocalist Jerry Cantrell. An informal memorial was held for Staley on the night of April 20, 2002 at the Seattle Center, which was attended by at least 100 fans and friends, including Alice in Chains bandmates Cantrell, Starr, Inez, Kinney and Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell. Staley's body was cremated and a private memorial service was held for him on April 28, 2002 on Bainbridge Island in Washington's Puget Sound. It was attended by Staley's family and friends, along with his Alice in Chains bandmates, the band's manager Susan Silver and her husband Chris Cornell, as well as other music personalities
