Renowned alternative rock band Jane’s Addiction has announced the cancellation of their highly anticipated Toronto show and the rest of their tour due to concerns over their frontman’s ongoing pattern of behavior.
The band, known for their hits such as “Been Caught Stealing” and “Jane Says”, released a statement explaining that lead singer Perry Farrell’s behavior has become a cause for concern and has ultimately led to the decision to cancel their upcoming performances.
This news comes as a disappointment to fans who were eagerly anticipating the band’s return to the stage after a hiatus of over a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Toronto show was set to take place on October 21 at the Budweiser Stage.
In their statement, the band expressed their regret for having to cancel the show and the rest of their tour, but emphasized that the well-being and safety of their fans and crew members is their top priority.
This is not the first time Farrell’s behavior has caused issues for the band. In 2019, Jane’s Addiction was forced to cancel their tour with Nine Inch Nails due to Farrell’s health concerns. The frontman has also been open about his struggles with substance abuse in the past.
Fans who have already purchased tickets for the Toronto show and other tour dates will be able to receive a full refund at the point of purchase.
The band has not provided any further details about Farrell’s behavior or the specific reasons for the cancellation of the tour. However, they have assured fans that they are committed to addressing the issue and taking the necessary steps to ensure a safe and successful return to the stage in the future.
Jane’s Addiction has been a staple in the alternative rock scene since their formation in 1985 and has a dedicated fan base around the world. This news is undoubtedly a disappointment for fans, but their well-being and the band’s integrity must come first.
As of now, there is no word on when or if the tour will be rescheduled. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned for any updates from the band or their management team.
