LOS ANGELES (AP) - Jani Lane, the former lead singer of the metal rock band Warrant, has died in Los Angeles. He was 47.

Officer Sara Faden says Lane's body was found Thursday in a Woodland Hills hotel. She had no immediate information on the cause or circumstances of his death.

With his long blond hair and tight leather outfits, Lane embodied the excess of 1980s "hair metal" rock bands. He joined Warrant in 1984 and wrote such hits as "Heaven," ''Down Boys" and "Cherry Pie."

He had an on-and-off relationship with the band, leaving it in 1992 before returning and quitting again several times.

In recent years, he appeared in the reality TV show "Celebrity Fit Club" and made news for a drunken driving arrest.

He is survived by two daughters from two previous marriages.

I was texting with the wife about this when I read it. He actually sang the lyrics to So Damn Pretty ... should be against the law directly to her at a show in 2000... Too young and such talent...

Don't you know he hated Cherry Pie?

I guess 47 was still a good age to live to for someone like him, he missed being in the 27 club by two whole decades, that's good going! :thumbup

Okay, BACK ON TOPIC. Take it to rep or PMs.

Jani Lane...oh I used to think he was so gorgeous. I'm so disappointed in my so-called 80's hair band friend who said he didn't know who Jani Lane was earlier when I texted him. HE fails at life.

Actually...I'm deleting the posts. It needs to go to rep or PMs unless the people involved would like to donate and take it to the Donator's Section which is completely unmoderated.

R.I.P.

Not that I've heard. It was said that drugs and alcohol were found at the scene, though.

That's too bad if true as just like Quiet Riot's lead singer Kevin Dubrow died back in 2007 from cocaine etc.
