JANE'S ADDICTION's DAVE NAVARRO To Release Documentary About His Mother's Murder

October 27, 2015

According to The Pulse Of Radio, JANE'S ADDICTION guitarist Dave Navarro is at the center of a new upcoming documentary called "Mourning Son", which focuses on the true story of what happened to Navarro's mother and the repercussions of her death. The film was written by Navarro and director Todd Newman, and was produced by Navarro, Newman and Larissa Swan. The film will be released via VOD on December 1.

Navarro said in a statement: "Sharing my experiences could serve as a tool to help those who have survived the trauma of losing a family member to murder... or loss of any kind for that matter. Many of us invent our own coping skills. 'Mourning Son' is my journey of discovering which of these mechanisms might send me further into suffering and which would help me recover and heal."

When Dave was only 15 years old, his mother Constance was brutally murdered by her estranged ex-boyfriend.

The killer, John Riccardi, eluded capture for eight years while Navarro dealt with his trauma and fear through drugs, art and escapism.

The film is described as a "heartbreaking, inspirational journey" in which Navarro "confronts the events that changed his life forever."

JANE'S ADDICTION has been touring to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its 1990 album "Ritual De Lo Habitual". The band is performing the album in it entirety on the trek, which stops on Thursday (October 29) in Phoenix.
