Jani Lane's close family and friends gathered at a church in Ohio over the weekend to remember the late rocker at a private memorial service.

The body of the former Warrant singer was found at the Comfort Inn hotel in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles on August 11th, prompting an outpouring of tributes from stars including Nikki Sixx and Slash.

A string of old school rock bands, including Great White, Quiet Riot and Enuff Z'nuff, have announced a memorial gig for Lane, to be held at the Key Club in Hollywood later this month.

Heart attacks. Plane crashes. Car crashes. Drug overdoses. Murder. Over the years, these have become some of the most common causes of the often shocking deaths in the music industry. On a lighter note, some might argue that even ham sandwiches have been involved.

Regardless of the cause, take a look back at these musical icons that have left us way, way, way too soon - yet have left us with legacies that will live on forever.

In 1984, the British government released a list of films they considered too vile for public consumption. Th...

Okay, so Starpulse ran an article on February 21 titled "Guyliner: Hot Or Not? You Decide," but we left a number of big names off of that list-- enough, in fact, to make a second list of more men who publicly wear the dark penciling around their eyes.

Some find it sexy and attractive, while others find it downright disgraceful; but in either case there are plenty of guys doing it lately. While our first article may have taken a positive slant on the issue at hand, this writer is only creeped out by these men who are obviously more concerned with their image than anything else. Some a...

Former Warrant star Billy Morris has been left stunned by the death of his friend and former bandmate Kevin DuBrow because the Quiet Riot frontman was one of the fittest people he knew. Morris, who briefly played guitar with Quiet Riot, insists he was "blown away" by the tragedy on Sunday.

He says, "No one would ever imagine this happening to Kevin, especially me, after knowing him for the past eight years. During our tours together, he would really take care of himself. He'd take his vitamins every day, and always kept his body and voice in check. One thing about Kevin was that he wa...
