Dave Navarro, the guitarist for Jane's Addiction, has issued a public apology to support bands Love and Rockets and Crawlers following the band's recent tour cancellation. This decision comes after Jane's Addiction announced they would be going on hiatus due to internal conflicts within the group, which escalated to an on-stage altercation between Navarro and frontman Perry Farrell during a Boston show.
This announcement follows a series of UK performances that marked the band's return with their original lineup, including Stephen Perkins and Eric Avery. The cancellation of the tour, originally intended to include a series of shows with Love and Rockets, disrupted plans for both support bands. In an Instagram story, Navarro expressed regret, stating, "I would like to personally apologize to Love and Rockets (and) Crawlers and their crews for such a terrible outcome of what started off as an incredibly magical tour."
Crawlers, in a heartfelt statement addressing the situation, expressed their disappointment: "It breaks our hearts that we won't be seeing you guys for these upcoming shows. To our fans new and old who joined us on this run of shows—we love you so much."
Earlier today, Navarro shared further thoughts on Instagram, implying that Jane's Addiction may be at an end. "Perhaps it’s simpler to recognize when something is gone and learn from the magical lesson of grief rather than avoid it," he mused, hinting at possible finality for the group.
The band's announcement of their hiatus cited Perry Farrell's mental health issues as significant factors leading to the split. As of now, both Love and Rockets and Crawlers are left re-evaluating their own future plans following the abrupt end to their anticipated tour.
In related news, Jane's Addiction also quietly released a new single titled 'True Love' on September 18, 2024, showcasing their recent musical endeavors despite the ongoing internal turmoil within the band.
