===2001–2004: ''Strays''===
"I got a phone call from a promoter who asked me if I would be interested in re-forming the band for the [[Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival|Coachella festival]] in LA," said Farrell in 2001, "and taking the band on tour after that... This comes at a time when this record ''[[Song Yet to Be Sung]]'' is about to be plucked. [[Stephen Perkins|Perkins]] played on three of the songs, and [[Dave Navarro|Navarro]] played with Steve on the single. So there are plans for Jane's' summer tour."<ref>{{cite magazine|first= Chris |last= Ingham |title= Breaking the habit |magazine= [[Classic Rock (magazine)|Classic Rock]] |issue= 30 |date= August 2001 |page= 62}}</ref>

The consequent 2001 [[Jubilee 2000|Jubilee]] Tour featured largely the classics, alongside "Hungry" from Navarro's ''[[Trust No One (Dave Navarro album)|Trust No One]]'' and "Happy Birthday Jubilee" from ''Song Yet to Be Sung''. Fans were told to expect a "Sexual Psycho Circus... half-naked, penny rafters, guitar solos, and tribal drums..." Indeed, during '[[Classic Girl]]', scantily clad stage dancers filled the arenas. Avery declined to be involved. Since Flea was busy with the Chili Peppers, Porno for Pyros bassist [[Martyn LeNoble]] was enlisted. (Fellow Pyros member [[Peter DiStefano]] guested at one show, to play "[[Pets (song)|Pets]]".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://janesaddiction.org/tour/show/janes-addiction/2001-10-27/54/|title=Jane's Addiction - October 27, 2001 - Hollywood Bowl, Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA|website=Janesaddiction.org|access-date=June 19, 2021}}</ref>)

Following the success of this tour, the band decided to record a follow-up album to ''Ritual De Lo Habitual'' and tapped [[Chris Chaney]] to replace LeNoble on bass. They entered the studio with producer [[Bob Ezrin]] in 2001, recording as a band for the first time in over 10 years. The result was a fourth album, ''[[Strays (Jane's Addiction album)|Strays]]''. Some of the songs (or parts of songs) dated far back in the band's history, while others were new. Reaction was generally favorable,<ref>

The band spent 2003 on an extensive worldwide tour in support of ''Strays'', including a summer headliner slot in a reincarnated Lollapalooza U.S. tour. Following this homecoming of sorts, Jane's Addiction once again broke up towards the end of 2003 after canceling several dates. Although details surrounding the band's demise are sparse, Navarro claimed on his website,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.6767.com|title=6767|access-date=July 27, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060804083014/http://6767.com/|archive-date=August 4, 2006|url-status=dead}}</ref> in June 2004, that the reasons were essentially the same as they were in 1991. Perkins later stated, "We always break up if it's not real. We really can't fake it, We can make a million dollars for three months touring but we would fucking hate each other, which isn't good. Even with the nostalgia, it's not worth it if it doesn't sound good, or look good. One of the things with Jane's is that we have never been good at faking it."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://stereogum.com/812261/progress-report-janes-addiction/franchises/progress-report/ |title=Progress Report: Jane's Addiction |website=Stereogum |date=September 15, 2011 |access-date=October 24, 2011}}</ref>

A hits album – ''[[Up from the Catacombs – The Best of Jane's Addiction]]'' – was released on September 19, 2006.
