According to John Petkovic from Ohio's The Plain Dealer, a memorial show for late singer JANI LANE is scheduled for this Saturday, August 11th at the Ripper Owens Tap House (owned by ex-JUDAS PRIEST, ICED EARTH singer Tim "Ripper" Owens) in Akron (491 E. Waterloo Road). The event marks the one-year anniversary of
the ex-WARRANT frontman's death who was found at the Comfort Inn hotel in Woodland Hills, CA and had suffered from "acute ethanol poisoning," according to the L.A. Coroner's Office.

"I loved Jani," says Billy Morris, who played with Lane in Warrant. "He moved to Los Angeles to make it in music, but he never left his Ohio roots."

Morris will perform at the show with his band, Cleveland's BREAKFAST CLUB.
