Duff McKagan Leaves<br> Jane’s Addiction

BAD LUCK STREAK WITH BASSISTS CONTINUES WITH LATEST DEPARTURE


Jane’s Addiction

Five months after joining the band, bassist Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver, Loaded) has left Jane’s Addiction. A statement from
the band reads:

“Hey we wanted to thank Duff for helping us write songs for our new record. We love the songs we worked on
with him – and the gigs were a blast – but musically we were all headed in different directions. From here Duff is off
to work on his own stuff so we wish him all the best.

On his twitter account, frontman Perry Farrell
said:

“Jane’s wishes Duff much luck with his band Loaded. What a fun time we all had working together. Look out for
his record and tour this fall.”

McKagan had originally joined the band after the departure of original bassist Eric Avery in March. Avery
had rejoined the band after a seventeen year absence. The band have not yet announced a replacement bassist.
