Health and 2003 Death
Lane had psoriasis throughout his life. After age twelve, he also suffered from psoriatic arthritis, which caused stiffness in his guitar playing only after 2000. His psoriasis was treated with hydrocortisone, which caused his weight to increase. In 2003, Lane was told that he would have to remain on medical oxygen for the rest of his life.
Lane died in a hospital in Memphis on September 26, 2003 of lung-related illnesses. His body was buried at the Memorial Park Cemetery in Memphis.
