Gender:	Mike Starr {Alice in Chains} dead at 44 Mar 9^th, 2011 at 8:34am Another loss to possible {probable?} substance abuse. Sad. He was the original drummer---from inception to 1993. Awfully young to die.

Former Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr was found dead in Utah on Tuesday, he was just 44.

The rocker appeared on the third season of "Celebrity Rehab" in 2009. He was arrested last month for possession of six Xanax pills and six Opana pills, according to TMZ.

Friends and fellow rockers took to Twitter and shared their condolences. Former Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Alder, who also appeared on "Celebrity Rehab," tweeted, "R.I.P. Mike Starr!! Such a sad day!"

"Devastating to hear of Mike Starr succumbing to his illness. So very sad. Our prayers are with his family," tweeted Dr. Drew Pinsky of "Celebrity Rehab."

Starr was the original bass player for Seattle-based Alice in Chains when they formed in 1987. He played with them through 1993, including his work on the grunge band's breakthrough album, "Dirt." Due to his substance abuse problems, he was replaced with Mike Inez in 1993.

The exact cause of death is not yet known.

They were such a great talented band. I saw them opening for Iggy Pop at Hammerjacks in Balmore. I had heard rumours that Mike Starr left AIC due to drug use. And, we all know how Layne Staley went out (RIP Layne). Did anyone from AIC comment about MS death?

Mike Starr's story is really sad, with his father also an addict and the whole thing with him being the last person to see Layne Staley alive, and the guilt trip he'd been on ever since.

I don't know if there's something about Seattle's weather messing up these guys' psychology, but he's another of that generation dying so young and with so many issues. RIP.
