Mike Starr (musician)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Christopher Starr (born April 4, 1966 in Honolulu, Hawaii), better known as Mike Starr, is an American musician, and was Alice in Chains' original bassist from the group's formation in 1987 to 1993. He played bass for albums Facelift, Sap, and Dirt and left the group in the middle of the Dirt tour. He also sang backing vocals on the song "Confusion" on the Alice in Chains album Facelift.
According to press releases, Mike Starr's departure from Alice in Chains was amicable, and was due to the rigors of constant touring and the desire to spend more time with his family.
He was most often seen playing several variations of a Spector NS-2 bass guitar. He later played bass for the band Sun Red Sun, which featured the late Ray Gillen and Bobby Rondinelli, both former members of Black Sabbath. A tribute myspace page (www.myspace.com/mikestarr66), which Starr is fully aware of, was created by a fan. Only close friends, dedicated fans, and family are added.
