Ex-WARRANT Singer JANI LANE Cancels Solo Tour

February 24, 2011

According to a posting on the Everything Jani Lane page, former WARRANT singer Jani Lane has canceled all of his previously announced solo tour dates. The message continues, "I do not wish to elaborate, but I do ask for your prayers and thoughts to be with Jani and his family at this time."

Affected shows:

Feb. 26 - Biloxi, MS - Hard Rock Hotel & Casino
Mar. 25 - Jim Thorpe, PA - Penn's Peak
Mar. 26 - Battle Creek, MI - Planet Live Music Factory
Jun. 10 - Lake Odessa, MI - Bike N Roll Festival
Jun. 12 - DeMotte, IN - Jimmy's House of Rock
Jun. 17 - Madison, WI - Bike N Roll Festival
Jun. 18 - Fremont, WI - Liquid Assets
Aug. 13 - Dubuque, IA -Diamond Joe Casino (Jani Lane + GREAT WHITE, hosted by Bobbie Brown)

Lane was scheduled to be joined on all dates by returning keyboardist Shawn Zavodney, guitarist Patrick Kennison and former WARRANT guitarist Billy Morris.

According to a posting on Everything Jani Lane, Jani "has been feverishly writing since 2008 to bring you a more modern sound! Think THE BEATLES mixed with HOOBASTANK and FOO FIGHTERS!!! He is working very hard to evolve with the music industry as well as keeping his long time fans impressed and turned on by his new creations."

WARRANT announced in September 2008 that it was splitting with Jani Lane six months after the band first reunited with the troubled vocalist. He has since been replaced by Robert Mason (LYNCH MOB, CRY OF LOVE, BIG COCK).

On July 19, 2010, Lane pled no contest to DUI stemming from his most recent arrest back in May 2010 — and was ordered to serve 120 days in jail. In addition, Lane lost his license for three years and had to complete a 30-month alcohol-education program.

Lane originally left WARRANT in 2002 to pursue a solo career. He released a solo album, "Back Down to One", in 2003, but shortly after was admitted to a rehab center for alcohol and drug-related exhaustion. He also appeared on VH1's reality series "Celebrity Fit Club".
