After suffering a calf tear last week, shortly after the Jane's Addiction/Nine Inch Nails tour kickoff, Jane's frontman Perry Farrell tells Spinner he is already on the road to recovery. "It's getting better," he says. "I wear a boot right now and I've got some good meds. So, between the two of those things, and my wife pampering me, I'm healing."
It would've taken a lot more than a torn calf to keep Farrell, who blames the injury on a tight muscle that day, from this tour. So far he feels it's lived up to the hype. "I'll tell you, judging by the success of the shows I don't think anybody can be in a bad mood," he says. "As far as the audience is concerned, we're bringing out a lot of nostalgic feelings and sentiments from people, just judging by the crowd sing-alongs and the welcomes that we've gotten. I think it's been a very successful tour and a very wise decision to team up."
The questions before the tour weren't how fans were gonna respond, but rather, the relationship between Farrell and bandmates Dave Navarro, Stephen Perkins and Eric Avery, who had held out on the reunion for 17 years before rejoining the others last year. "We're making sure that everybody is comfortable and happy and has what they need," Farrell says. "Everybody is, for the most part, enjoying it from what I can see. We're just concentrating on the live show right now because the recording part of it got a little messy."
Still, Farrell is hopeful for a Jane's future, including recording. "I would love to have Jane's Addiction as part of my life," he says. "I so enjoy performing those songs for the audience. This is a superbly important part of my life and I hope that everybody feels the same."

Glad to hear the leg is healing Perry.
If I didn't know you were injured I wouldn't be able to tell by watching the youtube clips.
