the bassist from alice in chains died today.Personal life
Starr was later featured in the third season of the VH1 reality television series Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew in 2010, which documented his treatment for heroin addiction beginning in August 2009 at the Pasadena Recovery Center. His subsequent stint staying in a sober living environment was then documented on the spinoff Sober House. He and fellow recovering addicts Mackenzie Phillips and Tom Sizemore appeared in the eighth episode of Celebrity Rehab's fourth season to provide testimonials about their recovery to that season's patients. During this appearance, Starr marked six months and seven days of sobriety.
Both Jerry Cantrell and Sean Kinney criticized the show Celebrity Rehab, calling it "disgusting". However, they stopped short of criticizing their former bandmate and expressed hope that Starr would turn his life around. Kinney also thanked Starr along with all other members of Alice In Chains both past and present within the liner notes of Alice in Chains' Black Gives Way to Blue album.
"I totally back Mike and I back his efforts to get clean and remain somebody that I and the band really care about — he’s a friend of ours, you know, and we wish him the best." ~ Jerry Cantrell[3]
"So I don't support that show at all and I think it's pretty disgusting. But Mike getting his life together or anybody doing that, I'll support that." ~ Sean Kinney[4]
On February 18, 2011, Starr was arrested and booked on suspicion of felony possession of a controlled substance (six pills of Oxymorphone, and six pills of Alprazolam) in Salt Lake City, Utah.[5][6]
Death

Ok I knew this already.
posted earlier, nevertheless it's really terrible that he died. AIC is honestly one of my favorite bands, and my favorite 90's grunge group.
Who ?
This was already in the "In the News" section.

i thought you said RINGO starr had died, then I looked at the front of the topic name. No tears shed. Don't even know who that was.
Everytime some known guy dies you don't have to announce it.

Because he has money and bitches.
Oh god sum 41 will never be the same!
That really sucks, I was never a really big fan of Alice In Chains, but I did like a few of their songs. Shame to hear he died.
