...As previously reported, just two days after the cancellation of Farrell's Lollapalooza Festival last month the rest of Jane's Addiction announced the band was splitting because the band was too "volatile a combination" to continue. Then a few days later the rest of the band, minus Farrell, announce they were launching a new band together with a new frontman.

Responding at last to all that news, Farrell has spoken to the Rolling Stone about the split and confirmed he intends to go solo. Saying that Jane's Addiction had been taken over by "new owners" and "went astray, falling into shallow holes" - whatever that means - Farrell told the magazine: "Music that was once relevant and graceful had become clumsy as a circus seal tooting his horns. I wish for Jane's Addiction to be remembered as one of the seminal bands of her era. She laid a foundation for unbridled underground music to rise up on."
