Dave Navarro, guitarist for the iconic alternative rock band Jane's Addiction, has declared the band "forever destroyed" following an onstage dispute with lead singer Perry Farrell. The incident, which occurred during a September performance, appears to have been the final straw for Navarro.
"I'm sorry, but as far as I am concerned, Jane's Addiction is over," Navarro stated in a recent interview. "The fight with Perry was the culmination of years of pent-up frustrations. We just couldn't find a way to work together anymore."
Jane's Addiction, known for their unique blend of hard rock, funk, and psychedelia, rose to fame in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Their hits, including "Jane Says" and "Been Caught Stealing," became alternative rock anthems. However, the band has also been plagued by internal conflicts and periods of inactivity. While they have reunited several times over the years, this latest development seems to signal a more permanent end.
Farrell has yet to publicly comment on Navarro's statement. Fans are left wondering if this is truly the end of Jane's Addiction, or if a future reconciliation is possible.
