Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro has issued an apology to the support bands affected by their cancelled tour , as the rock group quietly released their new single “True Love”. The band’s reunion tour came to an abrupt end after a dramatic altercation between Navarro and his bandmate Perry Farrell , in which the singer squared up to him and threw a punch before being dragged offstage by crewmembers. Shortly after, Farrell shared an apology to Navarro, his bandmates and their fans, which was followed by the announcement that the remaining Jane’s Addiction shows had been cancelled.
Navarro marked the release of “True Love” on Thursday with a fresh statement to Instagram, along with a visual clip accompanying the song. “New Jane’s Addiction track released today, ‘True Love’,” he wrote. “I am proud of the work we did on this song but I am equally saddened by the fact that you will likely never hear it live.
“I’d also like to publicly apologise to our crew, @crawlersband and their crew and to @loveandrocketsofficial and their crew. Thanks for being our travel companions for as long as you did.” He concluded: “I am gutted that things ended this way and that so many jobs were lost as a result.
May all of our hearts mend together.” Earlier this week, Navarro shared a joint statement with bassist Eric Avery and drummer Stephen Perkins , citing Farrell’s “continuing pattern of behaviour” as a leading factor behind the tour cancellation. �.
