Jane's Addiction's management has confirmed that percussionist Stephen Perkins has been admitted to the Infectious Disease Ward at Cedar's-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles for treatment of an infection in his elbow. Doctors expect to keep him there for the next few days for further diagnosis and observation while anti-biotic treatment continues.

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

The reformed original line-up of 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. 

Regretfully the group's Australian tour, due to start on Saturday, is forced to be cancelled at this time. Says lead singer Perry Farrell - "I know how excited we were to come play in Australia, and how long the fans there have waited for this. I want everyone Down Under to know that we will come back as soon as we can."

The legendary Janes Addiction have announced a very special show on
Thursday 16th July in the heart of London.

Currently on the sold-out NiN/JA 2009 tour with co-headliners Nine
Inch Nails, Janes will follow their O2 show with an intimate gig at
Centro in Holborn.

The Los Angeles quartet, who’s career has spanned over 20 years,
produced 3 critically acclaimed studio albums, and staked their name
as one of the most exciting live bands in the world return to the UK
for the first time in 17 years with their original line-up. Perry
Farrell, Dave Navarro, Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins will play a
trademark debauched Janes show for this one off gig, its certainly not
to be missed!.

Main support will come from Teeside band; The Chapman Family,
whispered as the new Joy Division, the quartet gave the whole world a
chance to hear the new sound of the underground with debut single
ŒKids‚ back in May. Kingsley, Pop, Phil and Paul have been wowing
crowds throughout the UK with their intense live show, and have been
hotly tipped across the board. With their debut album in the pipeline,
The Chapmans are a must-see.

Londons Loverman will be first on. For those of you who don’t know of
the the quartet, they are the dark heart that's been beating in the
shadows of London's underground for the last year. Having recently
returned from Los Angeles where they recorded their debut mini album
with producers Atticus Ross (NiN) and Joe Baresi (QOTSA), their heart
looks set to attack…

Jane's Addiction official online store has launched!

Check this out: we are giving you a very rare and cool opportunity to hang out with us backstage and watch us warm up and jam before the show in our intimate rehearsal space -- and help save someone's life in the process. A STRICTLY LIMITED total of 10 people per show can participate so act quick!

Since Trent and NIN began fundraising for Eric De La Cruz, we have been wanting to contribute to this great cause and are excited to announce the inclusion of an awesome VIP package for the remainder of the tour. Here’s what we came up with…
Before every show, we regularly warm up in an intimate style set-up backstage together. For $1,000, we’d like to offer 10 guests per show the opportunity to sit in us, hang out, and witness the JA preshow experience. In addition to the backstage hang and autograph signing, you will have the chance to watch our set from the side of the stage if you’d like.
For all of our Jane’s Addiction fans out there, this is an amazing and rare chance for you to be able to share such a special night w/ us up close and personal while contributing to a really good cause at the same time.
All proceeds from this will go to help Eric De LA Cruz get a new heart and a new chance at life.

Night of show details and instructions for donors:
Your donation of $1,000 will put you on our special JA guest list. When you arrive at the venue, you'll be given special laminates allowing you access backstage around the time NIN hits the stage (remember, NIN plays before JA on this tour). A list of set start times can be found here: http://www.ninja2009.com/tour/
Backstage, you'll be escorted to JA's secret rehearsal room, where you'll meet and hang with us in a room about the size of a small living room. Then we start our long-running tradition of playing anything and everything to warm up and jam before the show. You'll literally be sitting / standing right next to us and it should be a really cool and unprecedented experience. Autographs welcome.
We'll then make final preparations for the stage and if you want, you can watch us FROM the stage as our special VIP guest.
Please note: we start rehearsing roughly 1/2 way through NIN's performance, so you'll still be able to see part of NIN's set (from side stage if you're backstage at that point - we'll figure it out) and then come deep backstage to see us do our thing.
We hope you'll consider this offer - we're desperately trying to help save a guy's life who's fallen through the cracks of a broken health-care system.
Thanks and hope to see you soon!
-JA
