Killed Jani Lane

As investigators searched for clues Friday as to what killed Jani Lane, the former lead singer of the metal rock band Warrant, his family and friends prepared for a pair of memorial services to honor the rocker.
With his long blond hair and tight leather outfits, Lane embodied the excess of 1980s "hair metal" rock bands.
The current band will offer a tribute to Lane at a performance Friday night in Grand Forks, N.D., their publicist said.
Steinman said he battled alcoholism for years.
"He finally succumbed to that," Steinman said.
Lane wrote the song after a record executive told him they needed a radio-worthy single for Warrant's second album. "As a joke, Jani wrote 'Cherry Pie' overnight in a hotel room," Steinman said.
It became the album's title and the band and Lane's biggest hit.
The racy music video for the song was also a hit, and Lane married the model who starred in it, Bobbie Brown.
"He used to laugh," Steinman said.
Lane had been married for about two years to his third wife, Kimberly, Steinman said.
