From Blabbermouth:

TMZ.com reports that former ALICE IN CHAINS bassist Mike Starr died in Utah.

Starr's body was found in a Salt Lake City home today. Cops say they were called to the house at 1:42 p.m. Police do not suspect foul play.

Starr was 44 years old.

Mike's dad tells TMZ.com, "It's a terrible shock and tragedy."

Starr was arrested last month for felony possession of a controlled substance. Salt Lake City police said he had several painkillers on him when he was arrested.

Fuck.

I'll sure miss him. Facelift and Dirt really helped me out when I first started learning to play the bass. Both of them are still two of my favorite albums.

sucks...R.I.P.

Very sad, indeed.
He contributed to some great albums, for sure.

I also understand that he participated in a celebrity rehab tv show.
Sounds like a horrible entertainment concept, but at least he tried to do something with his situation.

Shit...I knew he had problems, but I didn't think it was this serious. Fucking sucks.

RIP Mike
