As we all know, Warrant's singer Jani Lane was found dead on Thursday (August 11, 2011) in a hotel in Los Angeles. The cause of death is inconclusive after the initial autopsy was performed this Friday; toxicology results will only be available in two months. We want to send our condolences to Jani Lane's family, friends and fans.
Jani Lane was part of the eighth season of VH1 Classic's That Metal Show. It was announced yesterday that the network has decided to push the broadcast forward and instead of it airing on October 1st, it will air on Saturday, August 27th. Also appearing on this episode will Michael Sweet (Stryper) and Taime Downe (Faster Pussycat). This is what Sweet had to say about the passing of Jani Lane.
"I'm still in shock over the sudden passing of Jani. I was just sitting in a dressing room with him less than a month ago. Had I known, I would have spent more time with him. He was a good-hearted guy with a gentle soul. I know he had a tough life and many battles, but who doesn't? He seemed to be genuinely working so hard at sorting things out and getting things in order. It's a true shame."
REST IN PEACE Jani, the entire Heavy Music community will miss you! \m/
