Tumultuous times for the band

The band had a rocky 2024. After reuniting with the original lineup of lead vocalist Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro, drummer Stephen Perkins, and bassist Eric Avery, they released their first joint single in 34 years titled “Imminent Redemption.”

However, during a performance in Boston on their North American tour in September, Farrell punched Navarro, which resulted in the immediate cancellation of the tour and the band’s hiatus due to Farrell’s “ongoing behavior and mental health issues.”

It appears that Navarro, Avery, and Perkins may be back in the studio together. In a video shared on Avery’s Instagram, which tagged his former bandmates, the bassist commented, “Writing some more new lines for some of Stevens’ drummers. We’re looking forward to getting some Mr. Navarro involved. 2025!

Possible revival of Deconstruction

Perkins later shared the post, but no further details about any possible collaboration were provided. Navarro and Avery formed Deconstruction in 1993 after the initial breakup of Jane’s, so it is plausible that the band is alluding to a potential revival of that group.

NME was present at Jane’s Addiction’s performance at London’s Roundhouse last summer and noted in a four-star review, “Jane uses The Roundhouse set to showcase new material. This time around, the only thing on the setlist was the unreleased track ‘Imminent Redemption,’ a tribal-style percussion piece that would soon become a staple in their live shows. ‘Ocean Size’ and ‘Three Days’ followed, with the latter stretching to nearly 15 minutes, turning the already impressive song into a powerhouse.

“This is the last one, because I don’t need your damn hand to make me come back,” Farrell says casually, signaling that there will be no encore and introducing the final number, “Stop!” Just like that, without any additional fanfare, the band exited the stage, proving that nearly four decades after their formation, they remain a formidable presence.”
