August 15, 2011California rockers TUFF paid tribute to late WARRANT singer Jani Lane during their headlining performance this past Saturday, August 13 at the Inferno club in So Paulo, Brazil. Fan-filmed video footage of TUFF playing snippets of the WARRANT songs "Blind Faith" and "Heaven" can be seen below.
"We just had to do that tonight," said TUFF singer Stevie Rachelle from the stage. It's a very sad story. We actually found out yesterday just after we had arrived to Brazil. We've known Jani As a matter of fact, the first show that we did with TUFF together at the Roxy [in Hollywood, California] in August of 1987, we opened up for WARRANT."
An autopsy performed Friday 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.
Investigators found a half-empty bottle of vodka and prescription medication in the hotel room where Lane was found dead on Thursday (August 11),according to TMZ.com.
Lane was pronounced dead by Fire Department personnel who responded to a call shortly before 5:30 p.m. in the Comfort Inn in the 20100 block of Ventura Boulevard in Woodland Hills, California, the Los Angeles Police Department said.
A public memorial with performances by fellow metal rock bands including GREAT WHITE and L.A. GUNS will be held in Hollywood on August 24 at a venue to be announced later, the singer's manager and longtime friend Obi Steinman said.
