Warrant came crashing down in the 80's with huge smash hits like 'Cherry Pie' and 'Down Boys.' Much of their success was due to the epic frontman who led the band. Jani Lane has left his mark on rock and roll. His era is at an end though. Tragically, the body of 47 year old Lane was discovered at a Los Angeles Comfort Inn on Thursday night.

Lane had long struggled with alcohol and drug abuse and in 2010 was picked up for DUI. It was his second in two years. He came crashing into this world as Ohio-born John Kennedy Oswald. His band Warrant was one of few hair bands to see continued success long after the scene had dissipated.  For more on the story check out Loudwire!
