Jane’s Addiction are ready to hit the road again, but it looks like guitarist Dave Navarro is not ready to return after continuing his bout with long haul COVID. The musician missed shows in 2022, and as the band prepares to return to the road in 2023, they’ve issued a statement on their current lineup status as it relates to Navarro’s health.
In their post, the band announce they have found a fill-in for Navarro, while explaining they hope the guitarist is able to return once he feels healthy and ready.
The full statement can be read below:
We’d like to address the questions surrounding Dave and the upcoming Jane’s shows. As a band, we are in a great place, writing new music, and the bond is tighter than ever. We all hope Dave can be out playing with us; when he feels healthy and ready.
For the near future, our brother Josh Klinghoffer will jump in for the upcoming shows on the West Coast, South America and some additional international shows, soon to be announced. We want to thank you all for being there with us over these thirty some odd years.
You know, we’re going to keep throwing it down for you – Perry, Eric & Stephen.
