Dave Navarro, the guitarist for Jane’s Addiction, has tested positive for COVID-19. Because of the positive test results, the band has canceled their upcoming appearance at Welcome to Rockville. The four-day music festival is set to begin today at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla.
As a result of the cancelation, Navarro’s Jane’s Addiction collaborator, Perry Farrell, and his band, Porno For Pyros, have stepped in and will reunite live on stage for the first time in 26 years. Welcome to Rockville tweeted, “While we’re saddened that Jane’s Addiction can no longer join us, we are beyond excited to have [Porno For Pyros] perform live for the first time in 26 years ON OUR STAGE THIS WEEKEND.”
Farrell chimed in, “The gang and the government are no different. That makes me the 1%. Rockville, although we are blue that Jane’s cannot be with you at this time due to Dave’s long bout with COVID, I am still coming to Daytona, bringing to you for the first time in 26 years Porno For Pyros Featuring myself, Perry Farrell, Stephen Perkins, Peter DiStefeno and Mike Watt. We’ll play some Jane’s songs for you as well, but for now let’s recall: My boat’s capsized it’s gonna sink to the bottom. I can see the lights on the shore…”
Also taking the stage during the Welcome to Rockville weekend are KISS, Guns N’ Roses, Nine Inch Nails (who stepped in for the Foo Fighters after the tragic passing of Taylor Hawkins), and last-minute additions Jane’s Addiction, who has been replaced by Porno For Pyro as one of Sunday’s headliners.
Passes for Welcome to Rockville are still available and can be purchased here.
