Thank you for putting this on here. I did not know Layne & Demri, but I did know Demri Murphy. I went to school with her. I was in 8th grade and she was a Junior, yes our school was small. Even though the age gap, we still became good friends. I loved her, and she loved that I loved her. I knew I was too young for anything serious and just enjoyed our friendship. She was so kind to me and never disrespected my love for her. She told me that I wouldn’t be little forever, so of course I thought I was going to grow up and be with Demri one day. Our conversation are a bit fuzzy for me to remember now, but a lot of them were about leaving this small town, exploring the world and doing some cool shit. She was an artist. She left for art school in Florida. She did come back on Christmas break and attended my wrestling match. We had a brief connections before being mobbed by her other friends, she was well liked. I only seen her one more time in 1988 in Everett, she came running out a building calling my name, run over to me an gave me a big hug. Her hair grew longer and she was even more beautiful then before. We talked for a few minutes, something like she wasn’t going to the art school anymore and was just trying to figure things out and what to do next. I was like, I have to get out of that town before I slip into a unrecoverable depression. So told me to be free and get out of that place, that I didn’t fit in there, like her. She told me that I wasn’t so little any more, so at that time I figured I only had about two more years left before she would become my girlfriend. (ha ha) But I never seen her again, the next year I did get out of that place and moved to Seattle, then went on tour with the Grateful Dead for the next five years and finally found the love of my life. I am sure you know what happened to Demri. You sound very intrigued by their story, so I wanted to share with you a less intriguing story of Demri, but straight from the source. I don’t know much about her after 1988, but the stories I heard, and her death breaks my heart. In some ways I wish they never met, maybe she would still be alive, maybe an art or drama teacher, or a photographer. Or maybe she has no regrets and was happy to lived and experienced “her” life. I did not know Layne, or much about him except he had excellent taste in women, that we had in common. But this story is not about Layne, it’s about Demri and I wanted you to know what a wonderful, creative and special person she was. There is a reason Layne loved her so much. Still loving you Demri, be free your friend mv

[@RHINOSAUR]

I never realized this before, but Layne’s facial profile is very similar to the classic proportions of ancient Roman statuary ideals.

[@s42tracer]

It’s called a Roman nose.

[@vanessajohnson6660]

Oh my God right on! I swear I was just saying that to my fiance a few days ago , that linear looks like a Roman Emperor or something in his profile in a lot of pictures! I mean I know he has a Caesar cut in some of them, but it's not just that , it's the Contours of his face and his nose and lips! And then his forehead as well , he was a very handsome man, I agree 100% that is so wild I thought that maybe I was the only one!

That's bullshit. Layne's own family abandoned him and left him to die alone. Especially his mother, if I saw my son dying I would move mountains to help him because you don't give up on someone u care about. It's possible to overcome an addiction but u need emotional support.

[@lanecore75]

Wow no wonder Layne was smitten with her. She was absolutely gorgeous.

[@Nga_Babaye]

Layne wasn't just smitten, "the human being inside him died with her and all that was left was his stage personae. Except his stage personae was a heroin addicted mess. A nightmare. He didn't want to come back and it's a hard pill to swallow realizing your friend wants to die and has chosen his way out " Jerry Cantrell, Interview; 2012.

@@Nga_Babaye Smitten was a poor choice of words. I know he was deeply in love with her. I can't say what the relationship was like but I can imagine it was a rollercoaster of emotion for Layne. You mix addiction into that and you have a recipe for disaster. I hope they have found peace in death.

[@davidleewrath6919]

@@Nga_Babaye Jourgensen said he introduced Layne to heroin in '93, yet Alice had done Dirt and Layne had been to rehab before, all of this according to biographer David de Sola.

[@Nga_Babaye]

@@davidleewrath6919 Layne had been a normal after-teenage years pot-smoking, cocaine snorting (many of the songs are about cocaine on dirt), drinking adult. I'm pretty sure in the biography it says it's somewhere between Dec 21 1991 and Lollapalooza May-June 1992 when Jourgensen shot Layne up the first time . You also have to look at the fact they are artists too, and what is happening in American and Seattle in the late 1980s-mid1990s? The 2nd wave of crack and the first wave of black tar heroin that was killing everyone. They are going to write songs about what they see as well.

[@jesuschrist3165]

@@demri_layne8130 you’re welcome❤️ and it absolutely is there’s so many emotions expressed through such a few simple sounds. It’s hopeful, nostalgic, haunting and beautiful. It gives the feeling of a new beginning, the whole song feels like a build up of something beautiful that’s going to happen and is happening. Like a change in the world. This song is also so sad especially with the context of Demri and Layne added into it, it feels like a longing for that true love with one person that can never be felt or matched again. As a guy who grew up in a toxic household where I couldn’t get away to cry often, this song has brought me to tears quite a bit since I found it from your video❤️ I also dated a girl who looks almost identical to Demri who talks about knowing she’ll die young, we’re only 23 and have both struggled with drugs over recent years and I haven’t seen her in a few years so it feels very personal. I’m always worried about her, and my heart aches that we can’t be together..thank you for making this video

Thank you for this! I've only seen 1 maybe 2 pics of the 2 of them together. It's amazing to see these and to see the genuine love they had for each other. So many videos only show Layne and the band & maybe mention Demri in a brief 2 second soundbite. Which is crazy because she was his everything as he was hers. To not mention her is to be disrespectful to Layne. Let's not forget Layne told Mike Starr, the day before he died, that she had come to see him the night before. She knew his time was close & she didn't want him to be alone in that time of need. I feel that she was there to walk him towards the light because he would've never walked in the light without her...guiding him...together for eternity ❤🙏 RIP LAYNE & DEMRI Your music & your love live on forever 🕊

Love these pics and the music is perfect....its crazy but I just really realized that when Layne died I was in the worst part of the throes of my own heroin addiction..I have been an opiate dependent for over 20 years but losing him back then hurt so bad ,I am a fanatic and have been since the early 90s right after facelift ,I was only like 13 ,but years later to think the loss of someone I adored so much ,and the horrible way he was found after 2 weeks still wasn't enough to wake me up ,to b honest I used over it. I am on methadone now and have been for 20 years of off n on misery u till 2010 when I finally wanted it bad enough and while I'm medicated ,I have not used illegal narcotics since May 18 2010.. Won't lie I'm a hell of a grass smoker though..its a religious thing for me. I like my life now and I can actually be a functional member of society which I'm proud to say I now am. I still cant believe just how stupid I was and careless..it could have easily killed me too. I'm actually one of a very very infinitismal number of people who get away from the life. I don't care how anyone else sees me anymore ,I'm good with me ,I just Wish to God that Layne and Demri could have found that. Having a child woke me up too if I'm totally honest.

Drugs and alcohol are the cause of all evil (pain, sadness, cheating, hurting each other, lose of sanity.....) Expressions on those faces tell so much... From friendship, crush, love, misticism, confusion, insecurities, doubt, dispaire....

[@charlutzwordhte4451]

they were beautiful human beings!!!

[@carriechildress5032]

So beautiful, both of them. Young love is tumultuous. It’s a time where you’re defining and learning who you are. A difficult time as it is. Fame and drugs in the mix is an impossible situation. But they looked so happy together. Wonder if Love Hate Love was about her. I’ll have to look that up. RIP to both of them.

[@bbwsmashchamp235]

Did anyone read Mark Lanegans book? He basically says she slept around and tried to sleep with Mark while dating Layne and it caused Layne a lot of pain.

[@demri_layne8130]

No I haven't read it. Didn't Layne & Demri have a kinda open relationship at one point?

[@zess5348]

I did read that in his book. Sad because layne could've had a different woman every time he went on stage but he chose her instead, yet she wasn't satisfied with just him.

[@bbwsmashchamp235]

@@zess5348 that is what I was thinking as well. I'm reading Alice in Chains Untold story. It has a whole chapter on her.

[@demri_layne8130]

@@zess5348 But didn't Layne admit he went off with loads of girls too? Sadly I think things didn't work out for them cos the cheating and drugs consumed them.

[@bbwsmashchamp235]

@@demri_layne8130 According to Mark Lanegan he didn't and was sad a lot because of Demri sleeping around. He said it deeply hurt him even when they would tour. She ran into Mark at a drug house and she straight out asked him if he wanted to go home and get high and fuck. I wouldn't fault her so much though. I think she was just a free spirit and maybe that's how she dealt with Layne being away. What's clear reading both books is they definitely loved each other.

Awesome thank u fir sharing... Lord have mercy on us and save us all... Love you ALL

[@the_grunge_legends]

I think they did love each other at the beginning. They were so young and unfortunately drugs & alcohol got in the mix. It really sad but, when your using all your morals and rational think as well. We will never know really what their relationship was whether it was open or not. Sad that their love couldn’t survive. ♥️✌🏻LS💜DP

They had actually planned to get married before she got sick from shooting up. They canceled it though because she was to sick. She did buy a wedding dress though

[@CrackBeaver]

I thought they broke up before Demri passed

[@nomaddamon670]

@@CrackBeaver they did break up prior. they weren't a couple when she passed. I don't recall ever hearing or reading anything about a wedding dress. This is the first.

I had one great love and lost her. I am not an addict but have never gotten over her completely.. I have remained pretty much single for the last nine years. She's not dead but I am to her. No, I haven't stalked her or anything like that.. some of us just don't fall in love very easily..

[@margaretwebb389]

Makemarker, Hoping you find her again!

[@ethanfuggin]

U can see how much layne and demri loved eachother despite battling a terrible heroin addiction

[@genericwhitemale1114]

She was so pretty. Layne had good taste. According to their friends, Layne got her hooked on heroin and that's why he beat himself up so bad when she passed. I'm glad they're no longer in pain. You can tell they were so deeply in love.

[@TheStepmonkey]

Some sources say Demi was doing drugs even before she met Layne and that she was the one who created his addiction. Who knows 🤷‍♀️

[@DickTracyFanboy]

@@TheStepmonkey I still don't buy that version. She looks so innocent and young when they met (Layne does too, but when Alice in Chains became big he changed so much). From the photos and from what I've researched, I've bet that it was Layne that introduced her to heroin, but the band managers associated Layne hanging out with her with excessive drug consumption maybe because he just liked to overdose with her and probably that's why they alienated her and tried to frame the drug consumption on her.

[@PK-uh2yz]

​@@TheStepmonkey nope Layne started doing drugs at age 14 and I honestly think he got her into drugs. Is why I believe karma got him good in the end. never introduce people to drugs. Evil thing to do.

[@oxkit0katxo413]

@@PK-uh2yz You’re right, Layne did start using drugs around age 14/15, but he didn’t touch heroin until later. I think heroin is what Stepmonkey was referring to.

[@oxkit0katxo413]

@@PK-uh2yz And I’ve heard it both ways- Demri got Layne into heroin & vv. I don’t think any of us can say for sure since we weren’t there. Either way, it seems to me your comment is a little harsh & judgemental. I highly doubt either of them forced the other one into anything. They were both capable of making their own decisions.

[@oldskaterfromchula]

This puts them as just like the rest of us. Put that same music to my death....addiction is terrible. God that music is deep. It changes Everytime inside of me.

[@heathermac4024]

They absulutly loved each outher with every fibre of there being a part of Layne,s soul died when demri died,he just never was the same he self destructed he would never love another like her and that turtured him he did say to his best friend the day before he passed that demri visited him the night before ,and I believe she came to take Layne home,,,

[@TheVOLTER88]

My girlfriend also died of a drug overdose, on December 8th it will be 2 years & I'm still absolutely crushed. I also had a serious addiction to heroin and then graduated to garbage ass fentanyl (biggest mistake of my entire life) Layne was still destroyed after 5 years idk if I'm gonna make it, I think about her every single day & miss her more and more because I'm lonely. IMO although Layne and Demri never got married I believe they were always each other's sweethearts. I'm so glad they're together now, I would love to have such beautiful pictures with my Angel.
