Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan to be Honored by Jane's Addiction for MusiCares

* Posted on Mar 7th 2011 6:59PM by Steve Baltin


Grammy Week 2011 has come and gone, but the Recording Academy's MusiCares -- the charitable wing of the organization dedicated to helping musicians in need -- is a year-round endeavor. And it takes center stage on May 6 in Los Angeles when Depeche Mode frontman Dave Gahan (pictured) and Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman follow in the footsteps of past honorees like Chris Cornell, Slash, Metallica's James Hetfield and the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis in being honored for their sobriety and work for musicians.

Founded in 1989, MusiCares started as a source of aid for musicians seeking recovery from their substance abuse problems, but has expanded in recent years to become more of a general aid to musicians in distress. Because of its role in helping artists, it has continually attracted some of music's biggest names -- including Tom Waits, Metallica, Alice in Chains and more -- to perform at the annual MusiCares MAP Fund Benefit Concert.

This year is no exception as the night's entertainment -- which will feature Gahan being presented the Stevie Ray Vaughan award and performing with Victor Indrizzo -- will be highlighted by performances from Jane's Addiction, Ozomatli and Paramore (acoustic).

"The MusiCares MAP Fund is an unbelievably important and courageous organization," said Gahan in a release. "They continue to make a momentous commitment to the music community, and I am proud to support their ongoing work in raising awareness and funds."

It is indeed a great cause and often offers some unique musical moments, particularly when honorees are feted musically by other performers. So might we see a bit of Jane's Addiction rocking 'Blasphemous Rumors,' bringing together two continents of alternative music history? We can only hope.

General admission tickets will be available via Ticketmaster outlets starting March 11.

My dear friend Dave Gahan will receive the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award for being awesome and I will have the honor of playing some songs with him (and Victor Indrizzo and Vincent Jones)

so is martyn on bass??? sounds like they are gonna do a depeche mode song?? that would be cool i think .. is Sitek gonna sit in for the depeche song? i was thinkin .. cheney has gotta go .. if they cant find a bass player they like enough to put on the record .. the best move is for perry to play bass .. it will give him something to do instead of molesting his wife onstage .. he NEEDS something to keep him busy at this point and now that he is famous he shouldnt be all about the showman end of things .. he could get his cred back just bringing it more simple .. he doesnt really do the cool jumping around like crazy that he used to anyway .. three days is a good example .. i loved seeing and hearing perry on the 12 string .. the crap from relapse on during that song with the dry humping was and is just lame .. plus perry wrote a lot of those janes bass lines . i bet he could come up with some more if he would just THROW AWAY THE COMPUTER PALEEZA PA PERRY!!

I don't think Martyn will play with Jane's.
it reads to me like he will play with the guys he mentioned, who were in Gahan's solo band, and/or played on his solo albums, and they will play some songs with Gahan.

Chaney will play bass with Jane's, as Sitek won't play live with them, and they won't play anything new, and I doubt they will play a Depeche Mode song.
IF they do, it would be best to have Gahan come out and sing it with Jane's, NOT Perry. he'll ruin it, and piss off all the Depeche Mode fans.
