On Monday (September 16), Jane’s Addiction said that they’re going “to take some time away as a group” after frontman Perry Farrell attacked guitarist Dave Navarro during a concert. Now, just a couple of days later, there’s a new song from the band’s classic lineup. Listen to “True Love” below.
“True Love” is the second new offering from the reunited Jane’s Addiction lineup of Farrell, Navarro, drummer Stephen Perkins, and bassist Eric Avery. The band, in July, released “Imminent Redemption,” amid a reunion tour. The tour came to halt, however, after Farrell’s incident with Navarro.
Navarro, Perkins, and Avery pinned the tour’s cancellation on Farrell’s “continuing pattern of behavior and the mental health difficulties.” They said, “Our concern for his personal health and safety as well as our own has left us no alternative. We hope that he will find the help he needs.”
In a statement of his own, Farrell apologized to his bandmates and said he was taking “full accountability” for his actions.
