After attempting to assault Dave Navarro on stage during a concert in Boston, United States, Perry Farrell publicly apologized to his bandmate. Recall that, as a result of that scuffle, Jane’s Addiction canceled their reunion tour.

This weekend has been incredibly difficult and after having the time and space to reflect, it is only right that I apologize to my bandmates, especially Dave Navarro, fans, family, and friends for my actions during Friday’s show,” Farrell said in a statement to Variety. “Unfortunately, my breaking point resulted in inexcusable behavior, and I take full accountability for how I chose to handle the situation.

In turn, Dave Navarro apologized to the artists who provided the opening acts for Jane’s Addiction concerts on this now aborted tour, especially to his heroes Love and Rockets, the band of former Bauhaus members Daniel Ash, David J, and Kevin Haskins.

I would personally like to apologize to @loveandrocketsofficial and @crawlersband and their crews for such a terrible outcome of what started off as an incredibly magical tour,” stated Navarro.


Janes Addiction New Song “True Love”

Finally, radio host Howard Stern decided to reveal a new song by Jane’s Addiction ahead of the scheduled date. On his program this Monday, Stern said he received the track, ‘True Love’, to play it for the first time at the end of this week but decided to bring forward the debut of the melancholic song.


Janes Addiction’s 10 Best Songs

3. Sympathy for the Devil

From ‘Jane’s Addiction’ (1987): A unique cover of the Rolling Stones classic. Jane’s Addiction adds their own twist by dropping the original’s signature “whoo-whoo”s and incorporating bongos, offering a distinctive rendition that stands on its own.

4. Had a Dad

From ‘Nothing’s Shocking’ (1988): A dark and intense song blending metal guitar riffs with funk rhythms and unpredictable starts and stops. The track delves into themes of personal reflection and feelings of abandonment, showcasing the band’s dynamic style.
