Jane’s Addiction Release Swooning New Single, ‘True Love,’ Days After On-Stage Fight & Tour Cancellation

Jane's Addiction released a new single, 'True Love,' days after an on-stage attack by singer Perry Farrell led to cancellation of tour and hiatus.

Just days after the future of the band was thrown into question following singer Perry Farrell ‘s on-stage attack on guitarist Dave Navarro, Jane’s Addiction dropped a swoony new song on Wednesday morning (Sept. 18). At press time a spokesperson for the band had not returned Billboard ‘s request for information on whether “True Love” was another one-off from the legendarily quarrelsome alt-rock group — which also features drummer Stephen Perkins and bassist Eric Avery — or another preview of a what would be their first new studio album in 34 years. In the wake of incident in Boston, the band issued an apology to fans, followed by a statement from Navarro, Perkins and Avery citing what they deemed the “mental health difficulties” affecting Farrell, as well as a personal mea culpa from the singer, who called his behavior “ inexcusable.” In addition, Navarro apologized to opening acts Love & Rockets and Crawlers on Tuesday, specifically calling out the former band made up of ex members of Bauhaus for the “terrible outcome” of the tour that launched in August and was slated to run through mid-October.
