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.

Heavy Metal — 80’s Ping.
Um...no. Electronic bump and grind music vs. actual guitars and drums?
No contest. Hair metal may have been senseless and saccharine, but it was at least actual rock music.
Actually, that’s “Turn the Page” by Bob Seger.
And covered by Metallica.
Have you listened to today's Top 40 music? Katy Perry and crap like that? Comparatively, Disco is high art.
