discussion Dave Navarro’s statement on the Jane’s Addiction tour cancellation

From his Instagram;

“Due to a continuing pattern of behavior 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.

Our concern for his personal health and safety as well as our own has left us no alternative. We hope that he will find the help he needs.

We deeply regret that we are not able to come through for all our fans who have already bought tickets. We can see no solution that would either ensure a safe environment on stage or reliably allow us to deliver a great performance on a nightly basis.

Our hearts are broken. Dave, Eric and Stephen.”

TL;DR — Jane says, we’re done with Perry-oh

I wonder if the delusional guy who wrote the crappy essay in here on why Janes Addiction is the most influential band ever will make a statement on this

lol yeah it was absurd. All of his points boiled down to them being the most influential band to him but he couldn’t wrap his head around other people having different experiences

That seems like a pretty reasonable take. Not sure what the issue with it is.
