  FROM ALICE IN CHAINS: 

 

 

 

 

 FROM MAD SEASON: 

It's been a heavy time in rock music, and this day is always the heaviest. But Mike and I choose to remember our friends and bandmates in ways that honor them, rather than mourning them. I wrote the music for "Long Gone Day" in the studio a very long time ago, but Layne, Mark, and Baker brought the song to life with their words and enormous spirits. How true that song has become over time. And their absence in this physical existence only strengthens their spirits on the other side. We miss them so much, but we never forget the music they left behind for us.

Love to all, Barrett
