Original Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr was found dead by police in a Utah home on Tuesday morning. He was 44. Starr, who had been jailed last month for drug possession in Salt Lake City, had battled drug addiction for many years and appeared on VH1’s
Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew in 2009. While on the show, Starr revealed that he had left Alice in Chains due to his increasing drug use. Alice in Chains’ lead singer Layne Staley died from an overdose of heroin and cocaine in 2002. [
