What The Final Year Of Layne Staley's Life Was Really Like

We lost Alice in Chains frontman Layne Staley 21 years ago today. He was 34. When the other members of the band rolled through town in 2018, I had them over to my house and got to tell them what their album ‘Jar of Flies’ meant to me. I listened to that album on repeat for six months straight at one point. (📸 photos captured by Vanessa Heins) #aliceinchains #laynestaley | George Stroumboulopoulos
