Grunge group has scrapped all of their headlining dates and festival appearances.

Tour kickoff was scrapped just hours before the band was scheduled to take the stage.

A new book featuring Layne Staley's lost journals titled 'This Angry Pen: The Lost Journals of Layne Staley' will be out later this year.

Studio vet also worked with the Rolling Stones, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Spinal Tap during his three-decade career.

During one of the biggest moments in Alice in Chains’ history, the guitarist was ready to puke.

The show included an Alice in Chains song that hadn't been played live in over three decades.

He admits the unique dissonant riff on 2009 comeback track still proves difficult to work with today.

Track appears on Alice in Chains guitarist’s upcoming solo album, featuring guest appearances by Metallica and Guns N’ Roses members plus others.

Carrie Underwood, the Warning and Dirty Honey will also appear as support on the trek.

The grunge movement had a lot of unsung heroes in addition to the legends.
