In a significant development for the iconic rock band Jane's Addiction, three primary members—bassist Eric Avery, guitarist Dave Navarro, and drummer Stephen Perkins—have embarked on a new musical endeavor together. This comes after a tumultuous period that saw the band embroiled in controversy following a highly publicized onstage altercation between frontman Perry Farrell and guitarist Navarro. The incident, which occurred during a performance in Boston, was marked by Farrell physically attacking Navarro, leading to the abrupt cancellation of the band's tour and an indefinite hiatus due to Farrell's mental health struggles. Farrell later expressed remorse for his behavior, acknowledging the damaging impact of his actions on the group and its members.

In the wake of these events, the remaining trio of Navarro, Avery, and Perkins have not only expressed their determination to continue making music but have also actively returned to the studio. Eric Avery recently shared his enthusiasm on social media through a post that featured a video of him laying down bass parts over Perkins' drum tracks, which he described as “writing new lines” with excitement for Navarro's contributions. This collaborative effort has sparked curiosity and excitement among fans, with speculations about whether this might herald the revival of the short-lived 90s project Deconstruction, which Navarro and Avery previously formed.

The potential return to a Deconstruction-like project, even without the charismatic presence of Perry Farrell, demonstrates a resolve among Avery, Navarro, and Perkins to explore new artistic avenues while maintaining the core elements that have defined Jane’s Addiction over the decades. Despite this shift, the absence of Farrell, who has been a pivotal figure and the face of Jane's Addiction since its inception, marks a significant change in the band's dynamic and creative process.

Additionally, the reissue of Deconstruction's self-titled album on streaming platforms has rekindled interest in the group's past work, highlighting the musical synergy between Avery and Navarro. This latest development underscores their evolving relationship as musicians and possibly sets the stage for their next chapter.

While no definitive announcements have been made regarding the direction or scope of this new music, the online activity from Avery and Perkins, coupled with Navarro’s engagement in recording sessions, strongly suggests progressive movement towards releasing new material. Fans and industry insiders alike are keenly watching to see how the evolving dynamics within the group will influence their sound and artistic output.
