Starr, who left the aforementioned band in 1993, was arrested last month for felony possession of a controlled substance, as Utah police say he had six Xanax pills and six Opana pills on him when he was busted.

Says Mike's dad to TMZ: "It's a terrible shock and tragedy," while Dr. Drew Tweeted in:

"Devastating to hear of Mike Starr succumbing to his illness. So very sad. Our prayers are with his family."
