Jani Lane, Former Lead Singer for Warrant, Dead at 47

Jani Lane, who once fronted the 1980s rock band Warrant and wrote its biggest hit, ‘Cherry Pie,’ was found dead at a hotel in Woodland Hills, California on Thursday night.

No cause of death is known at this time, but Lane had a history of alcohol problems. He was arrested for DUI in 2009 and 2010 — the latter earned him 120 days in jail and a three-year suspension of his driver’s license.

Lane was 47 years old.

According to a story on Ultimate Classic Rock, TMZ is reporting that the death is being treated as a possible accidental overdose of vodka and prescription medication.
