Lane, whose real name was John Kennedy Oswald, was born in Akron, Ohio and moved to Los Angeles for his big break in the mid-80s.
He’d reached his highest peak professionally as the frontman of Warrant, who scored a number of hits in the late 80s/early 90s with tracks such as Heaven, Down Boys, Sometimes She Cries, I Saw Red, and Cherry Pie.
He’d introduced himself to a new audience in appearing on VH-1’s Celebrity Fit Club in 2005.
In recent years, Lane made headlines for his legal woes, racking up DUIs in 2009 and 2010.
At this time, there is no word as to the cause of death.
