Friends, family and fans of Alice In Chains and it's first bass player, Mike Starr, gathered at the International Fountain at Seattle Center Sunday to listen to the band's music as a public memorial to Starr.
The former bassist died March 8th in Salt Lake City. He was 44.
Starr left the Seattle grunge band in 1993 after playing on its first two EPs, We Die Young and Sap, and its first two albums, Facelift and Dirt.
He publicly battled drug addiction on the reality show Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew early last year. He talked on camera about possibly being the last person to see Alice In Chains lead singer Layne Staley alive; Staley died in 2002 from an overdose.
