Alice in Chains Ex-Bassist Mike Starr Found Dead


Former Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr - who has publicly struggled with drug addiction and appeared on VH1's "Celebrity Rehab" in 2009 - has died. He was 44.



"It's a terrible shock and tragedy," his father tells TMZ.



Starr was arrested and jailed for alleged drug possession in Salt Lake City, Utah, last month. vice squad pulled him over and found he was in possession of six Xanax pills and six painkillers called Opana.



One of the two arresting officers reported that Starr readily identified himself. "Hey officer, have you heard of Alice In Chains? I used to be the bass guitarist for them. We are down here in Utah . . . putting together a new band," he told vice squad, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. (A court date had not yet been set.)



Alice in Chains frontman Layne Staley died from mixture of heroin and cocaine in 2002.

Because Mike Starr probably did heroin for longer than Justin Bieber has been alive?

Genetics. Some people live to 100 on a diet of bacon and whiskey. Keith Richards must have the best liver and kidneys known to man.

If it were not for Justin Bieber, Mos Def wouldn't be able to tweet the Justin Bieber jokes that fill me with mirthful laugher.
