(RTTNews) - Jane's Addiction was forced to pull out of scheduled performances at last weekend's Leeds and Reading Festivals due to frontman Perry Farrell's loss of voice.
"We got on site, and we were in there, all set to play," guitarist Dave Navarro told NME. "Perry was dressed and had his inner ear monitors in and we go to start and literally nothing came out of his voice. So we called a festival doctor, who came straight away and diagnosed Perry with an upper respiratory infection and told him that speaking, let alone singing, was out of the question."Navarro apologized to fans and said that everything is "touch and go" when it comes to their upcoming gig at Koko in London.
"We're more than sincerely apologetic to all our fans who came to see us," he said. "We were all gutted, so gutted. We love playing here. But we've got to take care of him. If he'd pushed it and played then he could have really injured himself. Perry saw another doctor today and everything is touch and go at the moment, he's in bed, but we're taking everything day by day. He's being a real champ about trying to recover as quickly as possible."
