Los Angeles - 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 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.

He has had a “horrendous” problem with alcoholism for a long time he couldn’t kick. RIP. Great at what he did back in the day.

I used to crank “Down Boys” on the car stereo just to PO the Saudis when I lived there. Good times.

RIP Jani Lane

Obviously, I must be culturally deficient because I`ve never heard of him, but RIP anyway.

You're kidding, right? There's nothing lower than Disco, other than Rap.
