Read our privacy policy Jane’s Addiction have released a new single titled “True Love”, just days after the band canceled their tour following an onstage bust-up involving frontman Perry Farrell and guitarist Dave Navarro. A statement to press made no mention of the recent altercation or canceled tour, saying simply: “Today, the original line-up vocalist Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro, drummer Stephen Perkins, and bassist Eric Avery debuted the new single ‘True Love,’ available now across all digital streaming platforms.” During a gig in Boston last Friday, a visibly furious Farrell threw a punch at Navarro and had to be physically restrained by crew members. As such, they will be canceling the remainder of the tour.” Perry Farrell was involved in an altercation with his Jane’s Addiction bandmate Dave Navarro last Friday In a separate statement to The Independent, Farrell added: “This weekend has been incredibly difficult and after having the time and space to reflect, it is only right that I apologise to my bandmates, especially Dave Navarro, fans, family and friends for my actions during Friday’s show. “Unfortunately, my breaking point resulted in inexcusable behavior, and I take full accountability for how I chose to handle the situation.” A subsequent statement from Navarro, Avery and Perkins informed fans that they saw no alternative to canceling the tour: “Due to a continuing pattern of behaviour and the mental health difficulties of our singer Perry Farrell, we have come to the conclusion that we have no choice but to discontinue the current US tour.
