Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro tries to put the drama behind him.
After Navarro got into a heated exchange with the band’s frontman Perry Farrell during an onstage brawl, the guitarist apologized on social media and quietly released the band’s latest single.
“Today we released the new song from Jane’s Addiction: True Love. I’m proud of the work we did on this song, but I’m equally sad that you’ll probably never hear it live,” he wrote on Instagram.
