The group took numerous breaks due to the drug problems of lead singer Layne Staley, who later died of an overdose in 2002.

Starr went public with his own drug problems in 2010 when he appeared on the VH1 reality show Celebrity Rehab which followed his treatment for heroin addiction.

if only there was some sort of lesson we could learn from this.

That drug addiction should be treated more seriously and that addicts shouldn't be paraded around on shitty reality shows

edit: also that bands that broke up 10+ years ago should stay broken up

More seriously?  I agree.  How?

Parade.  They aren't forced to do those shows right?

If I had the answer to that I'd be some sort of drug policy expert

> They aren't forced to do those shows right?

Of course not, but the fact that there's (big) demand for those shows is what I'm talking about

Well they are probably close to broke and aren't used to actually working so in a why they don't have a lot of choices (in their mind [which is probably on drugs]).

I was thinking maybe it was the only way they were able to get rehab paid...
