Jane's Addiction Recording New Music Without Perry Farrell

Jane’s Addiction is recording new music…well, at least most of the band is. Bassist Eric Avery, drummer Stephen Perkins, and guitarist Dave Navarro are working on new music together without singer Perry Farrell. Avery posted a video on Instagram showing him at work laying down bass tracks for the new music, and fans are excited.

After the event, the three musicians posted a joint statement saying the cancellation of the tour was part of a “continuing pattern of behavior and the mental health difficulties of our singer Perry Farrell.”

He says he’s currently mixing the currently-unnamed new album, which will have around 10 songs on it.
