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, as well as the harmonized vocals between him and guitarist/vocalist Jerry Cantrell.

Staley was also a member of the supergroups Mad Season and Class of '99.

From mid-1996 onwards, Staley was out of the public spotlight, never to perform live again. Staley struggled for much of his adult life with depression and drug addiction, which resulted in his death at the age of 34 on April 5, 2002.

Biography

Early life

Staley was born Layne Rutherford Staley in Kirkland, Washington on August 22, 1967. His parents are Phillip Blair "Phil" Staley and Nancy Elizabeth Staley (née Layne). Staley did not like his middle name "Rutherford" and would get angry every time someone called him by this name. He legally changed his middle name to "Thomas" during his teens because he was a fan of Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee.[7][8]

Staley was seven years old when his parents divorced, after which he was raised by his mother and stepfather, Jim Elmer.[9] He took his stepfather's surname while enrolled in Meadowdale High School in Lynnwood, and was known for some time as Layne Elmer.[9]

Staley was raised Christian Scientist,[10] but was critical of religion in his adult life,[12] stating in a 1991 interview: "I have a fascination with how brainwashed people get with religion and how they'll give up their money, their time and their whole life for a cause that they're sure is right, but I'm sure is wrong. I think there's a lot of people who are scared of life and living and they want to make sure they get to Heaven or whatever. I try to stay away from it as much as I can. I was raised in the church until I was 16 and I've disagreed with their beliefs as long as I can remember, so when I had the choice I chose not to believe in anything apart from myself."[11] Staley also stated in a 1999 interview that the song "Get Born Again" is about "religious hypocrisy".[12]

He approached music through his parents' collection, listening to Black Sabbath (regarded by him as his first influence) and Deep Purple.[13] Other favorite bands include hard rock and metal bands like The Stooges,[14] Anthrax, Judas Priest, Saxon, Rainbow, Mercyful Fate,[15] Twisted Sister, Van Halen, and industrial/new wave acts such as Ministry,[14] the Lords of the New Church and Skinny Puppy.[13] He also cited Prince and David Bowie as two of his biggest idols.[14]

Staley began playing drums at age 12; he played in several glam bands in his early teens, but by this point, Staley had aspirations of becoming a singer.[16] In 1984, Staley joined a group of Shorewood High students in a band called Sleze,[17] which also featured future members of The Dehumanizers and Second Coming.

In 1985, Staley and his band Sleze made a cameo in Father Rock, a low-budget movie from Seattle's Public Access Channel.[18]

{{quote box|align=right|width=25em|quote=We were just blown away by him – he had 'star qualities' even then. He was much more timid – he looked down while he sang. But the grain of his voice was there, the soul was there.[19]|source= — Johnny Bacolas describing an 18-year-old Staley}}

In 1986, Sleze morphed into Alice N' Chains, a band which Staley said "dressed in drag and played speed metal."[20] The new band performed around the Seattle area playing Slayer and Armored Saint covers.[21]

Alice in Chains and Mad Season

{{Main|Alice in Chains|Mad Season (band)}}

Staley met guitarist Jerry Cantrell at a party in Seattle while working at Music Bank rehearsal studios in 1987.[22][23] A few months before that, Cantrell had watched Staley performing with his then-band, Alice N' Chains, in his hometown at the Tacoma Little Theatre, and was impressed by his voice.[24] Cantrell was homeless after being kicked out of his family's house,[12] so Staley invited Cantrell to live with him at the Music Bank.[16] The two fast friends lived as roommates for over a year in the dilapidated rehearsal space they shared.[16][33]

Alice N' Chains soon disbanded and Staley joined a funk band,[34] which at the time also required a guitarist.[25] He asked Cantrell to join as a sideman.[25][26] Cantrell agreed on condition that Staley join his band,[26] which at the time did not have a name and included drummer Sean Kinney and bassist Mike Starr.[25] They started auditioning terrible lead singers in front of Staley to send a hint, which made him angry.[33][26] The final straw for Staley was when they auditioned a male stripper in front of him – he decided to join the band after that.[27] Cantrell said this about Staley's voice: "I knew that voice was the guy I wanted to be playing with. It sounded like it came out of a 350-pound biker rather than skinny little Layne. I considered his voice to be my voice."[16] Eventually the funk project broke up, and in 1987 Staley joined Cantrell's band on a full-time basis.[27] The band had names like "Fuck"[25][27] and "Diamond Lie",[27][28] the latter being the name of Cantrell's previous band.[27]

Two weeks after the band's formation, they were playing a gig at the University of Washington, trying to fill out a 40-minute set with a couple of original songs along with Hanoi Rocks and David Bowie covers.[29] Diamond Lie gained attention in the Seattle area and eventually took the name of Staley's previous band, Alice N' Chains, then renamed Alice in Chains.[27][30][20][31] Staley got permission from his former bandmates to use the name.[32]

Local promoter Randy Hauser became aware of Alice in Chains at a concert and offered to pay for demo recordings. However, one day before the band was due to record at the Music Bank studio in Washington, police shut down the studio during the biggest cannabis raid in the history of the state.[20] The final demo, completed in 1988, was named The Treehouse Tapes and found its way to the music managers Kelly Curtis and Susan Silver, who also managed the Seattle-based band Soundgarden. Curtis and Silver passed the demo on to Columbia Records' A&R representative Nick Terzo, who set up an appointment with label president Don Ienner.[33] Based on The Treehouse Tapes, Terzo signed Alice in Chains to Columbia in 1989.[34][20] The band also recorded another untitled demo over a three-month period in 1989. This recording can be found on the bootleg release Sweet Alice.[35]

Alice in Chains released their debut album Facelift on August 21, 1990, shaping the band's signature style. The second single, "Man in the Box", with lyrics written by Staley, became a huge hit. "Man in the Box" is widely recognized for its distinctive "wordless opening melody, where Layne Staley's peculiar, tensed-throat vocals are matched in unison with an effects-laden guitar" followed by "portentous lines like: 'Jesus Christ/Deny your maker' and 'He who tries/Will be wasted' with Cantrell's drier, and less-urgent voice."[36]

Facelift has since been certified double platinum by the RIAA for sales of two million copies in the United States.[37] The band toured in support of the album for two years before releasing the acoustic EP Sap in early 1992.[63] Alice in Chains made a cameo on Cameron Crowe's 1992 film Singles, performing the songs "It Ain't Like That" and "Would?".[38]

In September 1992, Alice in Chains released Dirt.[63] The critically acclaimed album, also the band's most successful, debuted at number six on the Billboard 200, and was certified quadruple platinum.[39][40] Staley designed the sun logo on the album's inlay.[41] During the Dirt tour in Brazil in 1993, Staley saved Starr's life after he had overdosed.[42][43] Because of Staley's drug addiction, the band did not tour in support of Dirt for very long.[44]

Cantrell wrote almost all of the music and lyrics for Alice in Chains, but as time went on, Staley contributed more lyrics. Eventually, Staley would receive credit for about half the lyrics from the entire Alice in Chains catalog prior to the release of Black Gives Way to Blue in 2009.[45] He also wrote the music and the lyrics to "Hate to Feel", "Angry Chair" and "Head Creeps", and melodies to other songs. Staley's lyrics are largely viewed as having dealt with his personal troubles, such as drug use and depression.[16] Staley also played guitar on "Angry Chair"[46][47] and "Hate to Feel".[48] Cantrell said of "Angry Chair" on the liner notes of the 1999 Music Bank box set:

{{quote|Such a brilliant song. I'm very proud of Layne for writing it. When I've stepped up vocally in the past he's been so supportive, and here was a fine example of him stepping up with the guitar and writing a masterpiece.[49]}}

In 1994, Alice in Chains released their second EP, Jar of Flies. It debuted at number one, making it the first Alice in Chains release—and the first-ever EP—to do so.[40] The other members of Alice in Chains, seeing Staley's deteriorating condition, opted not to tour in support of Jar of Flies.[16] Following the album's release, Staley entered a rehabilitation clinic and began to work on a side project with several Seattle musicians, Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, Barrett Martin of Screaming Trees and John Baker Saunders of The Walkabouts.[50] The band worked on material for several months and played their first show at the Crocodile Cafe in Seattle under the name "The Gacy Bunch" on October 12, 1994.[51][52] Within a few weeks, the band changed its name to Mad Season.[53] In January 1995, Mad Season performed two songs on Pearl Jam's Self-Pollution satellite radio broadcast, "Lifeless Dead" and "I Don't Know Anything".[54] The band completed an album, titled Above, which was released in March 1995. The first single, "River of Deceit", became a modest success on alternative radio. A live performance filmed at the Moore Theatre in Seattle was released in August 1995 as a home video, Live at the Moore.[55]

During Alice in Chains' hiatus, reports of Staley's addiction began to gain widespread circulation in fan and media communities, in part due to changes in his physical condition brought on by prolonged heroin abuse.[56]

Alice in Chains regrouped to record Alice in Chains, sometimes referred to as "Tripod", which was released in November 1995. The album debuted at the top of the U.S. charts,[57] and has since been awarded—along with Facelift and Jar of Flies—double platinum status.[39] With the exceptions of "Grind", "Heaven Beside You", and "Over Now", the lyrics were all written by Staley,[58] making this album his greatest lyrical contribution to the band's catalogue. To accompany the album, the band released a home video, The Nona Tapes,[59] but the band lapsed again, failing to complete tours planned in support of the album. When asked about the frustration of not touring to support the record, Cantrell provided some insight into how Staley's addictions led to tensions within the band: "Very frustrating, but we stuck it out. We rode the good times together, and we stuck together through the hard times. We never stabbed each other in the back and spilled our guts and [did] that kind of bullshit that you see happen a lot."[60] "Drugs worked for me for years," Staley told Rolling Stone in February 1996, "and now they're turning against me, now I'm walking through hell and this sucks. I didn't want my fans to think that heroin was cool. But then I've had fans come up to me and give me the thumbs up, telling me they're high. That's exactly what I didn't want to happen."[61]

One of Staley's last shows with Alice in Chains was the MTV Unplugged performance in New York on April 10, 1996.[62] The recording of Unplugged came after a long period of inactivity for the band; it was their first concert in two-and-a-half years.[63] Staley made his last performance on July 3, 1996, in Kansas City, Missouri, while Alice in Chains were touring with Kiss.[16]

Other projects

Staley shared lead vocals with Ann Wilson for a cover of Bob Dylan's "Ring Them Bells", featured on Heart's 1993 album Desire Walks On.[64]

The song "It's Coming After" from Second Coming's 1994 debut album L.O.V.Evil features Staley on lead vocals.[65][66] Second Coming features Staley's bandmates from Alice N' Chains, his former band.[67]

One of the last songs that Staley recorded was a cover of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" with the supergroup Class of '99, featuring guitarist Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, bassist Martyn LeNoble, drummer Stephen Perkins, both from Jane's Addiction and Porno for Pyros, and keyboardist Matt Serletic.[100][68] In November 1998, the group recorded the song for the soundtrack to Robert Rodriguez's 1998 horror/sci-fi film, The Faculty.[100] A music video was also released.[69] While the other members of the band were filmed specifically for the video, Staley's appearance consisted of footage pulled from Mad Season's 1995 Live at the Moore video.[70]

A song titled "Things You Do" featuring Staley on vocals was part of the soundtrack to the 2012 film Grassroots.[67] In the film, the song was credited to "The Bondage Boys featuring Layne Staley",[71] but the song had been credited to "Layne Staley and The Aftervibes" and "Layne Staley and Second Coming" when it leaked on the internet years before.[67]

Personal life

In the early 1990s, Staley enrolled in several rehab programs, but he failed to stay clean for long. At one point, the other members of Alice in Chains flew to Los Angeles for weekly therapy at Staley's rehab.[16] During the Dirt tour, Alice in Chains manager, Susan Silver, hired bodyguards to keep Staley away from people who might try to pass him drugs,[72] but he ended up relapsing on alcohol and drugs during the tour.[73] Kurt Cobain's death in April 1994 scared Staley into temporary sobriety, but soon he was back into his addiction. Alice in Chains' managers turned down lucrative touring possibilities and kept the band off the road, hoping that would help Staley.[16] Pearl Jam lead guitarist, Mike McCready, also tried to help Staley by inviting him to his side project, Mad Season.[74][75] McCready had hoped that playing with sober musicians would encourage Staley.[16]

In October 1996, Staley's former fiancée, Demri Lara Parrott, died of a drug overdose.[115][76] Staley was placed on a 24-hour suicide watch,[16] according to NME, which quoted a friend saying Layne was taking Parrott's death "extremely badly" and had fallen into a deep depression.[77] Mark Lanegan told Rolling Stone in 2002, "He never recovered from Demri's death. After that, I don't think he wanted to go on."[16]

Final years: 1997–2002

On February 26, 1997, Staley and the other members of Alice in Chains attended the Grammy Awards after the song "Again" was nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance.[78] In April of that same year, Staley purchased a {{cvt|1500|sqft|sqm}}, three-bedroom condominium in Seattle's University District via a trust. Toby Wright, the producer of Alice in Chains' third album, set up a home recording system for him there.[79]

In 1998, amid rumors that Staley rarely left his apartment, had contracted gangrene, and had lost the ability to ingest food and was living on a diet of Ensure, Jerry Cantrell told Kerrang! that the members of Alice in Chains regularly hung out at Staley's house.[16]

In October 1998, Staley re-emerged to record two tracks with Alice in Chains, "Get Born Again" and "Died", which were released on the Music Bank box set in 1999.[80][81] Additional reports of Staley's deteriorating condition persisted in the midst of the sessions. Dirt producer Dave Jerden—originally chosen by the band for the production—said, "Staley weighed 80 pounds…and was white as a ghost." Cantrell refused to comment on the singer's appearance, simply replying "I'd rather not comment on that", and band manager Susan Silver said she had not seen the singer since "last year".[81]

Staley made his final public appearance on October 31, 1998, when he attended a Jerry Cantrell solo concert in Seattle. He declined Cantrell's request to sing with him on stage.[82]

Thereafter, Staley was thought to have left behind his "self-imposed rock & roll exile", when in November 1998 he laid down additional vocal tracks as part of a supergroup called Class of '99, featuring members of Rage Against the Machine, Jane's Addiction, and Porno for Pyros.[83]

On July 19, 1999, the radio program Rockline was hosting Cantrell, Inez, and Kinney for a discussion on the release of Best of the Box, when, unexpectedly, Staley called in to participate. This was Staley's last interview.[84]

From 1999 to 2002, Staley became more reclusive and depressed,[85] rarely leaving his Seattle condo; little is known about the details of his life during this period. Staley was rumored to spend most of his days creating art, playing video games, or nodding off on drugs.[16] Staley's one time roommate and friend Morgen Gallagher later said that Staley had nearly joined Audioslave around 2001 but Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello denied the claim.[86][87]

Staley's mother told The Seattle Times in 2007 that despite his isolation, he was never far from the love of his family and friends, who filled his answering machine and mailbox with messages and letters. "Just because he was isolated doesn't mean we didn't have sweet moments with him." McCallum told she saw Staley on Thanksgiving of 2001, and again just around Valentine's Day of 2002, when he visited his sister's baby. That was the last time that his mother saw Staley.[9] Sean Kinney has commented on Staley's final years and isolation period:

{{quote|It got to a point where he'd kept himself so locked up, both physically and emotionally. I kept trying to make contact...Three times a week, like clockwork, I'd call him, but he'd never answer. Every time I was in the area, I was up in front of his place yelling for him ... Even if you could get in his building, he wasn't going to open the door. You'd phone and he wouldn't answer. You couldn't just kick the door in and grab him, though there were so many times I thought about doing that. But if someone won't help themselves, what, really, can anyone else do?[16]}}

Staley's physical appearance had become even worse than before: he had lost several teeth, his skin was sickly pale, and he was severely emaciated. Close friends such as Matt Fox said, "If no one heard from him for weeks, it wasn't unusual". Staley grew increasingly disconnected from his friends and bandmates who repeatedly tried to get him into rehab, entreaties Staley refused.[88] Staley's close friend Mark Lanegan said, "He didn't speak to anybody as of late… It's been a few months since I talked to him. But for us to not talk for a few months is par for the course."[89]

Death

On April 19, 2002, Staley's accountants contacted his former manager, Susan Silver, and informed her that no money had been withdrawn from the singer's bank account in two weeks. Silver then contacted Staley's mother, Nancy McCallum, who placed a call with 911 to say she had not heard from him "in about two weeks".[90] The police went with McCallum and her ex-husband, Jim Elmer,[91] to Staley's home;[10] It was reported that the {{convert|6|ft|adj=on}} Staley weighed only {{convert|86|lb}} when his body was discovered.[92] Staley's body was partially decomposed when he was found. Medical examiners had to identify the body by comparing dental records.[93]

The autopsy and toxicology report on Staley's body revealed that he died from a mixture of heroin and cocaine, known as a speedball.[94] The autopsy concluded that Staley died on April 5, two weeks before his body was found.[143] Staley's death was classified as "accidental".[95] Staley's Alice in Chains' bandmates issued the following statement:

It's good to be with friends and family as we struggle to deal with this immense loss... and try to celebrate this immense life. We are looking for all the usual things: comfort, purpose, answers, something to hold on to, a way to let him go in peace. Mostly, we are feeling heartbroken over the death of our beautiful friend. He was a sweet man with a keen sense of humor and a deep sense of humanity. He was an amazing musician, an inspiration, and a comfort to so many. He made great music and gifted it to the world. We are proud to have known him, to be his friend, and to create music with him. For the past decade, Layne struggled greatly—we can only hope that he has at last found some peace. We love you, Layne. Dearly. And we will miss you... endlessly.[96]

Aftermath

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.[97][98] 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. Chris Cornell, joined by Heart's Ann and Nancy Wilson, sang a rendition of The Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses" at the funeral.[99] They also performed The Lovemongers' song "Sand".[100] During her appearance on Celebrity Rehab in 2010, Staley's mother said she has her son's ashes in a box.[101]

Jerry Cantrell dedicated his solo album, Degradation Trip, released two months after Staley's death, to his memory.[102]

Shortly after Staley's death, his parents Nancy McCallum and Phil Staley started receiving donations from fans all over the world. Nancy and Phil worked with Seattle's Therapeutic Health Services clinic to create the Layne Staley Memorial Fund to help other heroin addicts and their families in the Seattle music community.[103][104]

Alice in Chains remained inactive following Staley's death. For the next several years, the band refused to perform together out of respect for him.[60][155]

In 2005, Cantrell, Kinney and Inez reunited for a benefit concert for victims of the December 26, 2004 tsunami, with several vocalists filling in for Staley.[105] Following positive response, the band decided to reunite formally in 2006.[106] In an interview with MTV News, Kinney noted that the band used the reunion concerts to pay tribute to the songs and to Staley.[107]

The band used to have an intermission to include a five-minute filmed tribute to Staley in between sets.[108]

{{quote box|align=right|width=25em|quote=God bless Layne. He was my favorite vocalist. I've never heard of a vocalist that had that much soul.|source= — Mike Inez[109]}}

Tributes and influence

Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins stated that Staley "had an amazing voice that had such a beautiful, sad, haunting quality about it. He was different because his heaviness was in that voice."[96] The song "Bleeding The Orchid" from The Smashing Pumpkins' 2007 album Zeitgeist was indirectly inspired by the death of Staley.[110]Cold's song "The Day Seattle Died" (from the 2003 album, Year of the Spider) was an ode to Staley, as well as Kurt Cobain, who were both figureheads of the grunge movement.[111] Staind featured a song called "Layne" in memory to the singer on the 2003 album 14 Shades of Grey.[111]Eddie Vedder, lead singer of Pearl Jam, wrote a song eulogizing Staley, titled "4/20/02" (the day Vedder heard the news).[112] The song featured only Vedder singing and playing the guitar in a ukulele-inspired tuning, and was released as a hidden track on Pearl Jam's 2003 B-sides and rarities album, Lost Dogs, roughly four minutes and twenty seconds after the conclusion of the final listed song, "Bee Girl".[112]Jerry Cantrell said Staley gave him the self-assurance to sing.[49][24] "Layne was really responsible for giving me the confidence to become more of a singer. He'd say, 'You wrote this song, this means something to you, sing it.' He kicked my ass out of the nest. Over the years I continued to grow, and Layne started to play guitar, and we inspired each other".[113]

Since 2002, Seattle hosts an annual tribute concert for Staley on his birthday. Venues such as the Moore Theatre,[114] The Showbox[115] The Fenix,[116] and The Crocodile[117] have hosted the event. The show proceeds benefit the Layne Staley Memorial Fund.[118]

Staley ranked #27 on Hit Parader magazine's list of "Heavy Metal's All-Time Top 100 Vocalists" (published in the November 2006 issue).[120]

Staley was an inspiration for the title of Metallica's 2008 album, Death Magnetic.[111] The band recorded a song in tribute to him, titled "Rebel of Babylon".[121]

In 2009, Alice in Chains released their first studio album in 14 years, Black Gives Way to Blue, with Cantrell and then-new vocalist and rhythm guitarist William DuVall sharing lead vocals.[122] The title track is a tribute to Staley.[123] Cantrell invited Elton John to join Alice in Chains and pay tribute to Staley playing the piano in "Black Gives Way to Blue",[124] the closing song in the album.[125] The song was written and sung by Cantrell, who described it as the band's goodbye to Staley.[126]

{{quote box|align=right|width=25em|quote=He was a one-of-a-kind singer. A lot of guys nowadays try to sound like him, but nobody can sound like him.|source= — Mark Lanegan[89]}}

On September 6, 2011, Hank Williams III released his Attention Deficit Domination album and dedicated it to Staley.[127]

On Staley's 50th birthday on August 22, 2017, Alice in Chains released a video paying tribute to him featuring Jerry Cantrell, Ann Wilson, Mike McCready and Barrett Martin.[128]

Books

Two biographies have been written about Staley, both authored by Adriana Rubio—Angry Chair released in 2003, which contains an alleged final interview of Staley that Rubio claimed to have conducted less than three months before his death,[115] and Layne Staley: Get Born Again, released in 2009, a revised and updated version of her earlier book.[129]

Staley's family have disputed Rubio's work, stating they do not believe she interviewed him in 2002.[130] Staley's last interview was for the radio Rockline on July 19, 1999, promoting the release of the box set Nothing Safe: Best of the Box with the other members of Alice in Chains.[131] The content of Rubio's book, including what she described as Staley's final interview was called into question in journalist David De Sola's 2015 book Alice in Chains: The Untold Story.[132] De Sola questions not only the content of the interview, which portrays Staley as using his lyrics in casual conversation, it also indicates that Rubio did not interview him at all, citing her refusal to release the tape with the interview and the fact that not even her publisher had access to the tape.[132] Staley's sister, Liz Coats, likewise doubted the veracity of the book.[130]
