“They were all about Joy Division. They weren’t about Limelight.” Dave Navarro admits that he's been sneaking his love of Rush into Jane's Addiction songs for years without his bandmates ever realising

Jane's Addiction onstage in London, May 23, 2024.

Jane's Addiction's Dave Navarro has been harbouring a dark secret from his dear friend and musical soulmate Perry Farrell for years, but he can live a lie no longer: the truth is that the guitarist has been secretly channelling his love of Rush into Jane's Addiction songs for decades, despite the group's de facto leader actively hating the Canadian progressive rock trio's music.

Navarro's confession emerged during a new online interview with Rolling Stone. After being laid low for three years with Long Covid, and forced to sit out major tours, Navarro joined his bandmates - vocalist Perry Farrell, bassist Eric Avery, and drummer Stephen Perkins - at the band's intimate show at London's Bush Hall on May 23, reuniting the group's classic line-up onstage together for the first time since 2010.
