Go figure,a conservative forum is the only site where the posters are not saying good riddance.
A.I.C. were easily one of the best bands of the '90's,if the reports turn out to be true Layne will be sadly missed.
No more Mad Season either,bummer.
Anyone have any confirmation on this yet.

Yes, it's him. It was confirmed not long ago according to dental records. I'm really not surprised. My former career was in the music biz and I'd heard from associates who worked in that genre that Staley was the Howard Hughes of the music biz, just holing up and killing himself slowly.
