The band's best known line-up consisted of lead vocalist [[Perry Farrell]], bassist [[Eric Avery]], drummer [[Stephen Perkins]] and guitarist [[Dave Navarro]]. Jane's Addiction was one of the first bands from the early 1990s [[alternative rock]] movement to gain commercial success. Founded by Farrell and Avery following the disintegration of Farrell's previous band [[Psi Com]], Jane's Addiction's first release was [[Jane's Addiction (album)|their self-titled live album]] in 1987, which caught the attention of [[Warner Bros. Records]]. Their first two studio albums, ''[[Nothing's Shocking]]'' (1988) and ''[[Ritual de lo Habitual]]'' (1990), received acclaim and grew a [[cult following|cult fanbase]]. As a result, Jane's Addiction became a significant part of what Farrell dubbed the "[[alternative rock|alternative]] nation'"<ref>di Perna, Alan. "Brave NoiseβThe History of Alternative Rock Guitar". ''Guitar World''. December 1995.</ref> The band's first farewell tour in 1991 launched the first [[Lollapalooza]]. In 1997, Jane's Addiction reunited, with [[Flea (musician)|Flea]] of the [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]] replacing Avery for a one-off tour. In 2001, a second reunion took place, with [[Martyn LeNoble]] and later [[Chris Chaney]] on bass. In 2003, Jane's Addiction released their third studio album, ''[[Strays (Jane's Addiction album)|Strays]]'', before dissolving the following year. In 2008, the original lineup reunited and embarked on a world tour. Avery left acrimoniously in early 2010 as they began working on new material. In 2011, they released their fourth studio album, ''[[The Great Escape Artist]]'', with Chaney returning for its recording and tour. They have toured and performed intermittently since. In 2022, Avery rejoined Jane's Addiction after a 12-year absence. Due to [[long COVID]], Navarro was replaced by the [[Queens of the Stone Age]] guitarist [[Troy Van Leeuwen]] and the former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist [[Josh Klinghoffer]] on tours in 2022 and 2023.<ref name="StereogumNavarro2">{{cite web|url=https://www.stereogum.com/2201272/dave-navarro-skipping-janes-addiction-smashing-pumpkins-tour-due-to-long-covid/news/|title=Dave Navarro Skipping Jane's Addiction/Smashing Pumpkins Tour Due To Long COVID |work=[[Stereogum]]|last=Brodsky |first=Rachel |date=September 29, 2022|access-date=September 30, 2022}}</ref> In 2024, a reunion tour with Navarro was cancelled after Farrell shoved and punched him on-stage during a concert on September 13, 2024 in Boston, Massachusetts.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-09-16 |title=Jane's Addiction cancels its tour after onstage concert fracas |url=https://apnews.com/article/janes-addiction-fight-3ab8dd6133437bfbb51239fd080186a6 |access-date=2024-10-08 |website=AP News |language=en}}</ref> In January 2025, Navarro, Avery and Perkins announced they were working on new music without the involvement of Farrell, with Navarro later confirming that the band would not continue.<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Jenke |first1=Tyler |title=Jane's Addiction Members Have Been Recording New Music Without Perry Farrell |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/janes-addiction-members-recording-new-music-without-perry-farrell-1235869691/ |magazine=Billboard |access-date=7 January 2025}}</ref>
