Jane's Addiction Reunion @ NME Awards

Jane's Addiction is getting back together for one night.

Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro, Stephen Perkins and Eric Avery.

Yes, Eric A. is back:

ok. so...short story is that ive decided to do a few songs with janes addiction at the nme awards show. they are honoring the legacy of janes and therefore i have decided to participate. i have kept silent this past week about it because i was concerned that if it got out that i was even considering it, that in itself would have been considered an answer and i didnt want to set this in motion until i had really decided either way. so i am sorry for the lack of response to your questions on the blog here.

i went to do dave navarros internet tv show today thinking that i might get some clarity about all this from talking to him. i had only spoken to two other folks about this up to that point. i was really conflicted and i am still unsure that this is the right answer (if there is such a thing) but i am happy to be a part of honoring janes. i am humbled that we are being put into the company of the others who have received this honor from the nme. and finally, i must admit that it has felt really good so far in both heart and mind; just sounds like a cool night. amazing.

now then, i have some basslines to figure out and rehearse.

All four original members of Jane's are reuniting for a single performance at the first-ever US NME Awards at the El Rey Theatre in LA next Wednesday, April 23.

The band will be honored with the Godlike Genius Award. Who wouldn't accept that award? Previous recipients of the UK award include The Clash, New Order, Primal Scream and Manic Street Preachers. Jane's Addiction will be the first Americans to receive the award. [blabbermouth + janesaddiction.org]
