According to Etty Farrell and Eric Avery’s twitter feeds, Perry Farrell tore a calf muscle last night during the NIN/JA show in Atlanta, GA last night. The injury happened during Three Days, Jane’s Addiction’s opening song. Perry, the consummate performer, powered through the pain and Jane’s was able to complete their set. Perry has been given the recommendation to stay off his leg for a week. I doubt this will lead to Jane’s canceling any dates, it will just limit what Perry can do on stage. If any dates are canceled, I will let you know.

Perry celebrated his 50th birthday this past weekend at the Mirage in Las Vegas with the aptly named “Perrypalooza”. There were a number of performances that night from various celebrities. Jane’s Addiction closed out the night, but equally as important is the fact that this night was the first time in 12 years that Porno For Pyros performed together. Perry, Steve, Martyn and Pete cranked out Meija and Tahitian Moon.
