JANE'S ADDICTION Interviewed By NME.COM; Video Available

July 29, 2009

NME.com conducted an interview with the reunited original lineup of JANE'S ADDICTION when the band performed in London, England earlier in the month. Watch the four-minute clip below.

JANE'S ADDICTION canceled all of its previously announced Australian tour dates because drummer Stephen Perkins was admitted to the infectious disease ward at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles for treatment of an infection in his elbow.

The six-concert Australian run was scheduled to begin July 25 in Byron Bay and conclude with an August 1 show in Perth.

JANE'S ADDICTION had been on their first world tour in over 17 years and had just returned to Los Angeles from a successful European leg when the mysterious infection was discovered after Perkins noticed severe swelling and pain building in his elbow.

Fans are being asked not to worry as a full recovery is expected over the next few weeks.

JANE'S ADDICTION's sole remaining reunion tour date is the August 7 headlining gig at Farrell's own Lollapalooza.
