William DuVall: I’m Not Trying To Do A Layne Staley
After the death of singer Layne Staley in 2002, Alice in Chains has regrouped with new singer William DuVall to record their new album ‘Black Gives Way To Blue’, which debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 this month and spawned a title track that went all the way to No. 1 on the Rock Songs chart. “I think initially people came [with] arms crossed, sort of hoping against hope. I hear that a lot,” DuVall tells Billboard. “I’m not trying to do a Layne. One of the things I loved about him was how individual he was. He was just being himself, so that’s what I do.” Watch an interview with the band below.
