You were making fun of it and you crooned the line you are so superduper bravissimo to me like the big goofball that you were. She would be in there for months at a time following serious operations on her heart that left a foot long scar on her chest, and she had a pacemaker installed. In 2017, 81,000 Americans tried heroin for the first time. I even wrote a blog on that hat for Christ sake, http://grungestorytellers.xanaland.com/2013/03/the-hat-with-purple-aura.html. Its a tribute vid, and at 5:45 (and I mean exactly easy to miss!) She had been clean for a little while before she went in and shot heroin with that guy she was dating. Im her age, a Seattle native and recently lost my sister to heroin. Shitty logic. I have fell of the wagon a couple of times because I will wait for an excuse to do it. We tried to before but couldnt really connect with Nancy- too much focus on Laynes addiction and Heroin, and yknow there was a lot more to those times than just that. It could be her though because she would definitely go to that show and she did have long hair like that (although her hair was more wavy I think) and there were a lot of people coming up to her and talking which would mesh with how popular she was. I wrote the following tweetstorm to remember her (and him) for the occasion: Most, if not all of that material was in my book, where Layne and Demri's relationship and her . She thought he should because his stuff was there. At the time, Jerry was very understanding and more than supportive to Layne. Many people looked after her, while Layne was on tour. It will take a different catalyst for every addict to finally take that leap off the cliff and get helpsome will need to be love bombed, some will need tough love jail is not the answer but ALL will need the help of people who understand them and wont judge them and a very strong and loving support system, also time away from their old friends, sometimes family and the places theyve used in is crucial and they all need to want it at least enough to try it one day and then hopefully one more day and they will need to learn new tools to cope with their new reality and how to live their new life clean without the old faithful emotional and physical buffer of opiates. He was dressed as a monster that night and no one recognized him. Mike, Rosheen, Andrew Wood and now sadly.. the list grows.. Chris Cornell who was an amazing man, husband and Father and Friend. She was 26.. Unconditional love? Demri Parrott was famous for being the ex-fiancee of Alice in Chains frontman, Layne Staley. I ask them to send me the strength I need. Someone in his life thought that was enabling Layne and suggested Johnny move out.I cant remember who it was (maybe Nancy?) Yes, she was so beautiful, and the love of his life. They were trying to treat her endocarditis for the last 2 years and she had a pace maker at 26 but the H had a serious hold on her, too. Haha! 1 person I know said he came by their house in Seattle and wanted them to come to his car to see if this girl O.D.d. BUMMER. In the six years between Demri's death and Layne's, he never even began to get over her. Its the nature of things and I think that this is dictated by how we feel about certain people.). I am thinking more of teens I have been watching grow up from their young years. She was an amazing person from what I can get, and im sorry for the bad word but f*ck the haters.all jealous people that dont know how to appreciate someone so full of life Demri was! Take care and Thanks so very much again for keeping this site up and running. Why didnt she stay home with her Mom when Layne wasnt around? That night, Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr, who had just been tossed from the band, claimed he actually died and came back as he bounced from shooting up with one famed musician to the other. I heard a lot of nice things about how Layne how he was a very down to earth person but, we need to remember we are all human and we all make mistakes in life. She did her movies, needed a babysitter for many, but she got through it all. He loved Layne more than anything, I think even more than Courtney sometimes (Courtney as you all know was Jerrys on off gf.) He was holding a loaded syringe and was sitting on a batch of used ones. Happy to know you found and enjoy the web site. Sid and Nancy also come to mind in that respect. Although she is not here in body, I can guarantee she is here in spirit, watching everyone and is beside her mother. I have the second version and it was at the bookstore and we got it for like $20 or so. I feel a very strange connection to him, like I can almost remember bits and pieces of his life through my own eyes. Those guys literally made magic and Im so grateful to even have existed when they all did. On one hand, the two bands got up to some hilarious business pranking each other. Also how she would decorate her hospital room with the same. She had three younger half-brothers from her mother's side, Devin Remme . Death is forever and you are needed in this world. (Back then we were still afraid of Aids and stuff and I dont mean Layne and Demri but others that came over. WTF are you talking about? Around 98, Mark Lanegan was living with Layne. Yes, she was sick from herion, but so was Marilyn. and yeah, Jerry writes beautiful music as well as Layne did..also, can someone confirm me if Layne did live with Mark Laneganfinding it a bit strange, dunno..ive read some of Lanegans interviews where it says that aroun 98 he mostly lived around L.A, just moved therewhatever, and by the way, Im also a big Nirvana fan, can you Barbara or someone here confirm me if Kurt Cobain was friends with Layne? Demri Lara Parrott Murphy was an amateur actress, girlfriend, and later fiancee of Alice in Chains singer Layne Staley, who lived from February 22, 1969 to October 29, 1996. I knew she was a special person. Ughhh, whats the need? What happened with that book, he had a really good chronological order of things. I hear all these people who talk down on heroin addicts because they cant just quit or that they make other people suffer. I wish I could hug you and Thank you again for visiting my website and coming back again after 10 years thats crazy huh? I was put into an induced coma for 6 days on a ventilator. I didnt know any of these. How did her kids get so involved with drugs and addiction? All he had left was her memory and a reported teddy bear that belonged to her and was given to him by her family. I think she, Nancy, and Mike Starrs mom have been through hell. Blessings to each of you! Its not easy but it is possible!! Do not let it get YOU! Layne and Demri's relationship made me come to terms with the fact that some people in your life will just drill a hole in your head and insert themselves there and there's nothing you can do to ever get them out. What a beautiful comment. I visit Demris Facebook page every once in a while and Ive learned that her closest friends dont like to disclose a lot. Dont try to talk about this to my sister Liz. Much love to you. There are records showing that she prostituted in her last years, however Im not sure that her family want this discussed. Every addict Ive read about has said the same thing. It is believed that her death has overwhelmed Layne so much that he returned to addiction. It tries to steal your life and the sparkle or energy that flows within us all. That was her. Demri always and forever a wild wood pixie. Days passed before his accountant sent up an alert that Staley hadn't been withdrawing any money. You did so much for them. I love it. There's a lot of information about Demri and interviews with family and friends. Thank you and I am sorry too just been very emotional lately with all going onno disrespect to this wonderful page or people. Services will be 10 a.m. Nov. 4 at Silverdale Baptist Church. Its easy for people to judge and if they can stick with you during good and bad thats a wonderful thing. She was talking to another guy right behind Layne and she was wearing black shirt and shorts. Love everyone? I think of her all the time, and how our similarities made me feel so much better about myself as a teenager. A month after I saw her on the bus, she was dead. She died that night with her mother and aunt by her side. I am not strong enough to deal with addicts bullshit anymore. Its hard to have someone understand that you didnt get off the couch all day because you just couldnt get up or because you want to rip the painful gaping hole out of your chest. Youve led a life that wouldve crushed a great number of people. But then I was never much more than a witness. I also thing its amazing how they found such amazing friends along the way who stuck with them during the hardest times! I know youve lost several, so hard to take, but your only daughter was trying to teach unconditional love for everyone. We talked about how we KNEW that AiC was going to be the biggest band in the world, and she insisted that I tell Layne that, because he didnt believe it coming from his girlfriend. The end everyone saw coming had finally arrived. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBZm-_6Qa3k, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL29f0AehNI, Oh Barbara, I was just waitting for your confirmation but now im very disappointed:( But anyway thank you very much for this site. As a loved one, you have to be alert. If people wanted to not just voice their opinion and get their hands dirty they could have, they chose not to and got jealous of the ones that did. I just was smitten with Xana. I can say that Kathleen and Rosheens Moms know each other and leaned on each other during that tough time when they both lost their daughters. I want people to know that you also had an amazingly strong and smart Mom who not only cherished you but also tragically lost you to a demon that she was powerless to fight against and so were you.. that she lost you far too soon.. which broke her heart and not long aftershe tragically lost your brothers too.Your life may of taken a wrong turn and you got too lost too find your way back but that was not your whole story. But, over time their addictions developed separately but similarly. Layne Staley died on April 5, 2002. source Addicts are a triggers for me so 12 step meetings are not good for me but they work for a lot of people at least in the beginning stages they worked for me too. 2 years after they were engaged and about 6 years since they began dating, the former couple split. Im very thankful for my daughter because for the first time I had to clean up and start to deal with things. Addicts in your life should never be seen as selfish assholes.. most are actually just broken and sad and while they may come off as being selfish because they wont get clean for you most are just not equipped to know HOW to get clean or are too scared to try. Her memorial service took place on November 2 at Neighborhood Christian Center and donations were made to Harborview Adult Medicine Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation, Harborview Medical Center (Seattle). Its nice to see this page and realize how much she was loved. I think Demris Mom confirmed that guy was NOT her boyfriend so it was either a friend or someone that picked her up. Ill try to sum this up as much as i can. So we run back to the thing that we thought made us happy again and then after a while that does not even work anymore. Jerry was REALLY different back then. Demri Parrott. Theyd have taken her by the arms, and said, I cant put my finger on it, but it wasnt what I wanted out of a $200 book. Demri counted on Layne & others to help, & they did. If it is truth you have lost more than your Demi but a sibling with a D too. I know Barb and so many others that knew Demri and Layne and were close to them, loved them dearly and that they are both very much missed. Now for the more positive things: Demri Parrott (which I recently found out was pronounced Puh-Row) was described by everyone who knew her as a bubbly, charismatic and beautiful girl. You are so missed. I just feel that sometimes Jerry does not get enough credit for the good things that he has done. , ..u can always download vuze then go into kickass torrents and type in any movies, books, sitcoms you want to watch and download it.voila it downloads onto vuze and you can watch it anytime offline from then on.free all free, Sounds good i can be your book reviewer give star ratings..!!! I found the video I think but did not see any girl Thank you. "They were obviously coked out because they (the strippers) started b----ing up one side and down the other to the point where Layne actually told them to shut up because they were making it worse than it needed to be," according to one observer. It was YOUR take on Demri and it made me think about my take on them as well. I was the only one with a real job and I should have been saving to travel but spent it on making Andy look amazing and it irks me to think someone is claiming to have made his hats! Demri Parrott and Layne Staley were engaged for 2 years. Allegedly it got to a point where she knew that her presence in his life was causing them both harm, so she left him alone and did her best to let him move on. Its like being high on life and thats what everyone should strive for because though life can be scary and ugly, it also can be beautiful depending on how you look at things. Makes me wonder about the beautiful pictures of Demri above, Id love to know when they were taken. Why do you think it is so hard to stop? I wish that Barcolas hadnt moved out. I have changed it though to allow 3 and I have posted the videos for you.. all you have to do is post the link and it will automatically post the embedded video. The song was included on the compilation albums Music Bank (1999) and The Essential Alice in Chains (2006). It doesnt seem right to me that they continue the band because there is no improvement. Soon I heard he had passed on. She also refused to take Laynes money, and had to make her own money herself. her relationship with Layne Staley, the singer of rock band Alice in Chains. Thanks Dave!

He moved to the U District, to a condo right above this tavern called the Blue Moon. She was of Native American (Cherokee), Irish, Scottish, Welsh, English, and Swiss-German . Let me just say that its truly a pleasure to meet you here Xana. Nationality: American I could go on for days with stories, but I wont. You have done so much, been through so much, God bless you. Im not totally sure when that started to change. In all actuality they probably never will unless they have gone through it. So thats what i have been doing staying clean. If you call 911, he wont be your friend. So right now and since june of 18 ive been sick as hell waiting to have my new valve replaced again. Anniversary of Dems passing & a note from her Mom, Darin Lamb One of Layne Staleys Best Friends. Half of this sounds made up..this Koa girlJesus, what people do.. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/archive/index.php?t-234414-p-11.html, Any comments about this? You are the only one on the internet who knows about those days, and any info on Demri, Layne, Chris, Andy, or others in the Seattle Grunge Scene would be appreciated. Layne was never the agile and charismatic musician since the death of his ex, Demri Parrott in 1996. I know it can be a struggle to help drug addicts. We were buddies and got closer when he was engaged to Miranda because he really wanted to do right by her. Happy to hear youve enjoyed it. Personally, I have no idea exactly what happened, but I got a lot of stories. I remember also reading that Layne took Andys death badly. The saddest thing about Demris family is that there were 4 children and now there is only 1 left. We never celebrated my birthday so she wanted to be clean so we could which was on the 28th. Laynes father could have been that positive influence, but he only helped drive Layne to an early grave. I know I will personally miss Demri as long as I live but today marks the day that Demri was taken from us ALL forever. No one had a bad thing to say about her and honestly believe shes in that extreme minority of human beings that are inherently and intrinsically GOOD people. Her smile, always sincere, always beautiful show who she was and how she was. That means 13 times she was clean. If so, what kind. What could he dofight back? Back in those days, the band lived in abject poverty, "obsessed with getting p---y and who they were f-----g.". What's not known is if they finally connected.

He didnt seem to want to do it because he had a bad feeling about it. One of the many drenched-in-drug moments revealed in David de Sola's new book, "Alice in Chains: The Untold Story," has Cobain and Staley striking a deal while the bands were on tour in Rio de Janeiro. Id last about 3 days. Young, but very sexy.

Cobain agreed to pay for the product if Staley shouldered the cost of having it flown in. Anyway, I think you hit the nail on the head when you explained why Layne did what he did. Yes, shes there. His family, bandmates, and manager, Susan Silver reached out to help him but couldnt. Hes got this Im Jerry Cantrell and youre not sort of attitude. Ill do what I want! She was her own being, she did what she wanted, to the point that her tiny body couldnt take it anymore.
