Jane’s Addiction release statement regarding their Reading cancellation

After cancelling their performance at Reading at the eleventh hour, Jane’s Addiction have released the following statement to explain why they cancelled.

Jane’s Addiction regretfully had to cancel their scheduled headline performance on the NME /Radio 1 stage at this year’s Reading Festival as singer Perry Farrell was unable to perform due to the severe swollen condition of his throat.

Although Farrell was treated earlier in the day by top local London physicians and had his heart set on trying to perform under any circumstance, in the end he was completely unable to produce any sound vocally. Jane’s Addiction would like to deeply apologize to the fans for any inconvenience. Farrell’s condition remains day to day.
