Rock band Jane's Addiction will reunite to receive an award
|
All four original members of pioneering alternative rock band Jane's Addiction will bury the hatchet and reunite in Los Angeles next month to receive an award, according to the final piece of the puzzle, relates Reuters reports.
Bass player Eric Avery, who has declined to play with the band since it first broke up in 1991, said on Tuesday he would perform at the inaugural NME Awards on April 23 with singer Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro and drummer Stephen Perkins.
His bandmates, who have resurrected Jane's Addiction several times, had previously agreed to attend the event at the El Rey Theatre, leaving Avery once again as the holdout.
The band will be honored with the "Godlike Genius Award" for its contribution to the development of alternative rock with such albums as 1988's "Nothing's Shocking" and 1990's "Ritual de lo Habitual."
"I have always considered reunions to be a way to make a quick buck, and it sells short my own experience of it the first time  around," Avery said in a statement. "The reason I started to even consider this is because it's honoring the past instead of trying to recreate it."
Avery has kept a relatively low profile since leaving Jane's Addiction and just released his first solo album.
The band, with session musician Chris Chaney in for Avery, most recently broke up following a tour to promote its 2003 album "Strays." The split was acrimonious but evidently not irreparable.
