BULLETBOYS Pays Tribute To JANI LANE With 'Heaven' Performance (Video)

August 23, 2011

Fan-filmed video footage of BULLETBOYS performing a cover version of WARRANT's "Heaven" as a tribute to fallen WARRANT singer Jani Lane can be seen below.

In an interview conducted the day after Jani was found dead in a California motel, BULLETBOYS vocalist Marq Torien stated about Lane, "[Jani] was a very good friend of mine, a close friend. We'd done a lot of touring together and pretty much came up the ranks in Los Angeles together in bands. It's just a really, really sad day for all of us, because he was an amazing songwriter. He basically couldn't fight those demons inside that were taking him down. . . There's been some really close friends of ours passing away. . . It's a huge loss to the rock community. Time's moving by so quickly and there's only a few of us left. When you lost a cat like that, it's such a He was a really great songwriter and he really loved music and his personal life just seemed to kind of swallow him up."

A public memorial for Jani Lane with performances by fellow metal rock bands, including GREAT WHITE, QUIET RIOT, ENUFF Z'NUFF and L.A. GUNS will be held on Monday, August 29 at Key Club in Hollywood, California.

300 free tickets will be given out at the Key Club box office starting at 10:00 a.m.

An autopsy performed on August 12 on Lane proved inconclusive pending the results of toxicology tests, according to the Los Angeles County coroner's office.

Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter says it may take seven or eight weeks to finalize the cause of death.

Lane had battled alcoholism for years and also had a history of alcohol-related arrests.
