Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro is looking to put the drama behind him.
After Navarro got into a heated exchange with the band’s frontman Perry Farrell during an onstage fight, the guitarist issued an apology on social media and quietly released their latest single.
"New Jane’s Addiction track released today, True Love. I am proud of the work we did on this song but I am equally saddened by the fact that you will likely never hear it live," he penned on Instagram.
