Friends and Family for Jani Lane's memorial service

Jani Lane's close friends and family gathered in a church in Ohio over the weekend to remember the late rocker at a memorial service.

The body of the former Warrant singer wa found in the Comfort Inn hotel in LA on 11 August, leading to outpouring tributes from stars including Slash and Nikki Sixx.

A string of legendary rock bands including Great White, Quiet Riot and Enuff Z'nuff, have announced a memorial gig for Lane, to be held at the Key Club in Hollywood later this month.

On Saturday, Lan was remembered by around 100 of his loved ones as they gathered for an 85 minute service , where his cousin Adam Gable was a member.

Gable tells The North Royalton Post: "We had hundreds of requests. We wanted to keep it very intimate, for family and close friends."

Lane's sister Michelle Robinson adds: "Heroes are remembered and legends never die. And that's true. He always enjoyed being the star and being the frontman. He would enjoy this."

An initial autopsy examination on Lane proved inconclusive and experts are waiting on the results of toxicology tests.
