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.Â”

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.”

Jane’s Bassist Eric Avery Quits Band

Jane’s Addiction bassist Eric Avery has quit the band. Avery made the announcement over Twitter a couple days ago, saying, “thats it. with equal parts regret and relief, the janes addiction experiment is at an end.”

Jane’s Addiction originally broke up in 1991 and reunited in 2003 with Avery being the only member not to rejoin the band for several reunion tours or the 2003 album Strays. Avery did however come back to Jane’s in 2008.

There is no confirmation on who will replace Avery, but several sources are reporting that former Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan might fill the spot.
