PERRY FARRELL Injured At Atlanta JANE'S ADDICTION Show

May 11, 2009

Billboard.com reports that JANE'S ADDICTION lead singer Perry Farrell is recovering from a torn calf muscle he suffered on stage at a concert in Atlanta.

Farrell hurt himself during the first song Sunday night at Lakewood Amphitheatre but was able to finish the show.

According to a statement from the band's publicist, he was taken by ambulance to Atlanta Medical Center after the show.

Doctors told him to stay off the leg for several days, but Farrell says he still plans to perform as planned Tuesday night in Austin, Texas.

Fan-filmed video footage of the Atlanta concert can be viewed below.

On April 21, Rhino celebrated the legacy of JANE'S ADDICTION and unearthed "A Cabinet Of Curiosities"; a 3-CD/1-DVD JANE'S ADDICTION boxed set of demos, live performances and rarities that includes 30 unreleased tracks. The set is available from Rhino in stores and at www.rhino.com in a striking, limited-edition wooden cabinet for a suggested price of $74.98.

The "Cabinet" collection focuses solely on the band's original incarnation of vocalist Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro, bassist Eric Avery and drummer Stephen Perkins. Last year, this founding foursome played together for the first time in 17 years and has since raised eyebrows with a trio of celebrated secret underground shows in tiny clubs around Los Angeles. Now, with 43 tracks on CD, "A Cabinet Of Curiosities" offers a comprehensive look at the band from demo recordings of key tracks from "Nothing's Shocking" (1988) and "Ritual de lo Habitual" (1990) to live recordings of the band roaring through its best songs onstage.
