Jane’s Addiction Release New Single ‘True Love’ Amid Breakup Rumors: Listen

Jane’s Addiction has made some changes. The original lineup reunited for the first time in 14 years and released music together for the first time in 34 years. There were strong hints of a new album. But all those plans appear to be in jeopardy after singer Perry Farrell attacked guitarist Dave Navarro onstage in Boston on Friday, leading to an onstage brawl, the cancellation of the band’s reunion tour and calls from the rest of the band for Farrell to seek treatment. Meanwhile, in an Instagram post Tuesday reflecting on Walt Whitman, Navarro wrote, “Perhaps it’s easier to recognize when something is gone and learn from the magical lesson of grief than to avoid it and remain in a constant state of dissatisfaction.”

Is Jane’s Addiction going to disband? No one knows for sure. But amid the chaos, a new song has emerged. “True Love,” a song Jane’s Addiction have been performing live for over a year, appeared online today without any announcement from the band. The ode to young love follows “Imminent Redemption,” the band’s comeback single. This one is slower, calmer, and almost ceremonial in its approach, but not without a sense of creeping energy.
