Been 9 years ago we lost one of the kindest spirits when we Lost RIP Jani now he is in Heaven Singing and dancing and he doesnt have to suffer anymore , Love you brother you are sorely missed but never forgotten :)
Thank you for sharing this. Jani’s passing hurts on so many levels. I grew up in the 80’s listening to Warrant and was captivated by Jani’s songwriting and stage presence instantly. I too was a chronic alcoholic drinking daily just to get going in the morning. I nearly died several times. By the grace of God I was able to get sober back in 1996 and haven’t drank since. I know the pain and isolation Jani must have been experiencing. I wish so much I could have met him during his life just to let him know there is a way out with the help of other alcoholics. Thank you again for these wonderful photos. Jani was a beautiful soul. His death hurts me to this day.
Thank you for reading my comment Sheila! These photos really hit home for me. I have a ten year old daughter who already loves Warrant and music of the 80's. We've been to several big concerts together including Guns n Roses and Stevie Nicks. I told her about Jani and explained to her I had the same problems with alcohol before she was born. We listened to Maddie's beautiful version of Heaven and my daughter nearly burst into tears making me promise I'll never leave her. I thank God everyday she's never seen me drunk. I haven't had a drink in 22 years but I will never forget the feelings of despair and how many times it nearly cost me my life. I never knew him, but Jani and his music will be a part of me and my family forever. Wherever his beautiful soul is I hope he knows he's still having a positive impact on this world. Thank you for keeping his memory alive!
Thomas B Thanks for sharing. I happy to hear that you’re still sober and enjoying your family. Jani loved life and his loved ones more then anything. He fought his addictions vigorously. Unfortunately he lost the battle. It’s not as black and white as that. No ones story is. Stay strong! In this song. He says, “ I took my strength for granted.” He is truly speaking about his addiction. I miss him everyday and probably always will. Prayers and love to you
I'm touched you wrote to me Sheila it really means alot. I feel fortunate for the life I do have despite emotional demons that still haunt me. You are absolutely correct, nobody's addiction story is black and white. We have underlying issues that booze is a symptom of. Its hard, if not impossible to ever recover without dealing with them on some level. His song "Comfortable With Sad" from the Jabberwocky sessions touches on this and I can seriously relate. Jani clearly wore his heart on his sleeve. The genuine affection he had for his loved ones and fans shines through every time he's seen on film. I just hope he knew how much he was loved by so many of us. As I said I never knew Jani, but I very much know that guy in the grips of an obsession who wants to stop but can't. Every time I relapsed before getting sober for good I also took my strength for granted. It wasn't until a friend in recovery told me alcohol is "cunning, baffling and powerful" that I knew I could never take even a day's sobriety for granted. This song he wrote for you is such a beautiful gift you will always have. I miss him too despite never knowing him but he's alive in my heart. Prayers and love to you and your family too. Thank you for making me feel connected to him in some small way.
I stumbled across this video today. As I sat in my office watching and listening I started to cry. I miss Jani. He was my favorite song writer and performer. I can't imagine how much you miss him as a husband, father, brother, etc. Thank you for giving us a glimpse inside his private life. I don't know how you make it through each day without him.
I’m truly grateful that I had the opportunity to meet and talk with this beautiful soul not only once, but twice and he actually remembered me which COMPLETELY blew my mind. We lost an amazing song writer who had a special way of touching you deep in the heart with his lyrics when we lost Jani 💔
Wow! Glad I came across this video. Filled my heart. Blessed to know he was there for the kids. It fits my Facebook post you saw. The soccer photos fit Victoria's post she posted after Jani passed. And then to find Liesa (spelling) was there for you with her and my connection. I am for sure they both are watching over all of you. Love from me to you, Scott
Damn Jani your music ment so much to your fans. If youd reached out your hand for help we'd still have you in this world. My future prediction for you is after you got clean and clear of your demons. The next twenty years of your life would have been spent writting number one songs for your self and for other A list artists. I predict that you would have written sucessful screen plays and seen them turned into movies. Your autobiography would have been eagerly awaited by your fans. Damn Jani your fans miss you so much. RIP Jani Lane the Song & Dance Man.
he was at the age that many men finally stop drinking, me as well..if he had survived that last bout it mightve been the one to make him quit; he wouldve hit bottom like they say. I barely survived my last time drinking, it couldve gone either way, I was 46...I dont drink cause I can never risk going thru that again, it was 8 yrs ago.
It’s amazing to see love survive through decades of rockstardom. When you have somebody you love so much, it makes it so easy to write the best songs of your life. Loved to see these pictures and hear the song. Thank you so much.
Thanks for sharing Sheila awesome song he is so missed i met Jani (JOK) IN Louisiana back around 91-92 and was a lifetime fan he was one of the best songwriters and front man in Rock period and i can tell his smile in his eyes when he was with you in the Video you were in his heart and Soul Thanks for posting Sheila i cant stop crying and smiling as i watch this Video hugsssss
This is a beautiful song and an exceptionally wonderful video. Thank you for sharing this on RUclips for all of us to see. The precious pictures of you, Jani, and his daughters are priceless.
This was such a beautiful tribute to you. Jani will always be in my heart because his music helped me so much through really hard times. I miss his genius every day. You must miss him so much 😢
....beautiful song Sheila!!!....Jani was a great great talent!!! my carefree adolescence ,in italy, has been colored by the beautiful songs of Jani....will remain forever in our hearts!!! ;)
Jani lives here...everyday...into my hearth....every time to beat...thanks Sheila to Share...im watch vid and read your words and tears run out my eyes....Love you everyone !
Thank you for sharing this, Jani was always one of my favourite singers. Was lucky enough to see him with warrant back in the early 90’s in Melbourne Australia, still listen to his music to this day. Gone way too soon. His memory will forever live in our hearts ❤️
Beautiful video. Always wished I had of had the chance to meet Jani. even just to thank him for the music that helped change my life. He will always be a hero of mine. Thank you for sharing.
Love Jani Lane. RIP. You're the best. Great video. Thank you for sharing. Amazing to see his family life. I played Fuseball against Jani one night at The Button South in Hallandale, FL I believe it was 1990. They had just played at Summers on the Beach in Ft Laud. Cherry Pie just came out. I couldn't get in for some reason. I was 20. But I got into the Button and they came to party there after. Jani kicked my ass at fuseball. It was over before I knew what happened. He probably played alot on the road. Loved this band Warrant. Seen him many times. Always great. I was blown away when he passed. Way to young. He should've had a long live ahead of him. So talented. I wish I would've known him. I feel like I did. I'm sure all his fans felt that way.
@@SheilaLussier Thats so cool. I wish the game would've been longer so that I could've chatting longer. Game over, I was out. Haha. Good times. He was so down to earth. Good people. Thank you again for posting this great vid and song.
I was blessed to be a friend of Jani's for 17 years, before he passed. I was invited to the service in Malibu and the Memorial Concert at The Whisky. I think of him (as with all the others) every day. I STILL get emotional (with no apologies) every time I go down the Jani rabbit hole. Salt Water is devastatingly beautiful. So f-ing talented, he should still be here! I will see him down the line in the after!
I was lucky enough to meet Jani in 2009 and was absolutely heart broken to hear about his passing. Genuinely beautiful person. Very sorry about your loss and thanks for posting
met Jani @ a club in Pa. was a very kind and seemingly gentle soul, talked to me for a bit about music , lol never did get his email to send him the tracks we talked about
@SheilaLussier so happy I stumbled upon this vid.. He looks so happy here.. is it you he was with at the end? He seems like such a beautiful soul… Thank you for posting this
jani lane was and always will be WARRANT not to shit on them now but jani was the band all they do now is copy him that's my opinion tho with this dirty 30 tour he was the main attraction not this wanna be guy mason jani was WARRANT
He likes busty blondes that’s for sure but who don’t haha!! Blondes rock! I sure miss him. Wish he was still here rocking . I’m sure his family and daughter wish the same!!
I was wondering the same thing.. and I also heard that he wasn't with Kimberly anymore when he died ..poor Jani.. apparently no one could really make him happy😢
@@Pinkyboo12 He wasn’t technically with the Kim lady when he died, but she was living in his home when he died in that motel room. I don’t know if she wouldn’t let him stay or he chose not to stay under the same roof with her. He begged Bobbie to stay in her guest house or guest room (I can’t remember which one) not long before his death. Bobbie said she told him no.

One hell of a musician and front man he could play. Anything on stage. He was the real thing. That. Was a. Better time he will be missed. Wls63
I don't think they were married

I love this song. Jani was just awesome. ❤️
Sheila, Love ❤️ , Hugs, Light, and prayers! Life is so fragile, precious, and never gauranteed!❤️🙏💜

Wish we could’ve saved Jani Lane. We still have good people out there that need someone to just listen to them.
This was such a beautiful tribute to you. Jani will always be in my heart because his music helped me so much through really hard times. I miss his genius every day. You must miss him so much 😢
Was lucky to meet Jani at the signing party at the Roxy in Hollywood with Warrant, one of nicest persons I have ever met.
Thanks Jani for happiness that you gave to me when I was young, I loved all of your ballads like this, sad theresa, I saw red, heaven, blind faith
Remember back in '89 I met Jani and the whole band at Harmony house inside Macomb mall in Detroit, got all there autographs was so cool.
....beautiful song Sheila!!!....Jani was a great great talent!!! my carefree adolescence ,in italy, has been colored by the beautiful songs of Jani....will remain forever in our hearts!!! ;)

❤️
I understand...I lost my mom almost 5 years ago; sometimes it seems like yesterday, other times it feels like forever ago... :(

What's the name of this song?
No entiendo ...teniendo a una familia que supuestamente lo amaba lo dejaron morir solo 😥😖
I miss him.
Matthew Ashworth ❤️
Miss you bro
Я была бы благодарна отцу и маме за внешность , не говоря об интелеггентности. Хорошие корни !
I wonder how Jani would have felt about all of these personal and private pictures being released to the public. Especially under the circumstances.
Who was this woman Jani? I only know of Bobbie, Rowanne, and the woman he was with when he passed
Jani dated Sheila before he married Kimberly .
I was wondering the same thing.. and I also heard that he wasn't with Kimberly anymore when he died ..poor Jani.. apparently no one could really make him happy😢
@@Pinkyboo12 He wasn’t technically with the Kim lady when he died, but she was living in his home when he died in that motel room.

The Buckeyes? Come on Jani.. you needed a Hawkeyes lid instead.
