One Year Since The Passing Of WARRANT's Jani Lane (RIP)

One year ago, WARRANT's singer Jani Lane died from acute alcohol popoisoning at a Comfort Inn hotel in Woodland Hills, California. He was 47 years old.

One of Jani Lane's final public appearances was on the eighth season of VH1 Classic's That Metal Show. Also appearing on this episode were 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."
