About Jane's Addiction

Jane’s Addiction was an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1985. The group’s most widely recognized lineup consisted of lead vocalist Perry Farrell, bassist Eric Avery, drummer Stephen Perkins, and guitarist Dave Navarro. Jane’s Addiction was among the early alternative rock bands of the late 1980s and early 1990s to achieve significant commercial and critical success, contributing to the broader visibility of the alternative rock movement. The band was founded by Farrell and Avery following the breakup of Farrell’s earlier group, Psi Com. Jane’s Addiction first gained attention with their self-titled live album released in 1987, which led to a recording contract with Warner Bros. Records. Their first two studio albums, "Nothing’s Shocking" (1988) and "Ritual de lo Habitual" (1990), were critically acclaimed and helped establish a dedicated fan base. During this period, the band became associated with what Farrell described as the emerging “alternative nation.” Their farewell tour in 1991 directly led to the creation of the first Lollapalooza festival. Jane’s Addiction reunited in 1997 for a brief tour, with Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers replacing Avery on bass. A second reunion occurred in 2001, initially featuring Martyn LeNoble and later Chris Chaney as bassist. In 2003, the band released their third studio album, "Strays", before disbanding again in 2004. The original lineup reunited in 2008 and undertook a world tour, but Avery departed in early 2010 amid tensions as the band began working on new material. In 2011, Jane’s Addiction released their fourth studio album, "The Great Escape Artist", with Chaney returning for its recording and subsequent tour. Over the following decade, the band performed and toured intermittently. In 2022, Avery rejoined the band after a 12-year absence. Due to long COVID, Navarro was unable to tour and was replaced on live dates in 2022 and 2023 by Troy Van Leeuwen of Queens of the Stone Age and Josh Klinghoffer, formerly of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. A planned reunion tour in 2024 featuring Navarro was cancelled following an on-stage altercation involving Farrell and Navarro during a concert in Boston, Massachusetts, on 13 September 2024. In January 2025, Navarro, Avery, and Perkins announced they were working on new music without Farrell. Jane’s Addiction officially announced their fourth breakup in December 2025. Studio albums Nothing's Shocking (1988) Ritual de lo Habitual (1990) Strays (2003) The Great Escape Artist (2011)
