Layne Staley formed the initial version of the band during high school in the mid 1980's, He called the group Alice N Chains. Staley and Jerry Cantrell met in 1987. Columbia Records signed the group in 1989 Early in 1990, the label released the We Die Young EP which did very well. The Seattle grunge scene was at it's peek and the record company began marketing the band as a grunge act. They released their self titled debut and soon after Dirt. Which were all huge successes
In April 2002, sadly, Layne Staley was found dead due to a lethal overdose of cocaine and heroin. Making a reuinon of the original Alice In Chains impossible.
