Jane's Addiction have shared a lyric video for Imminent Redemption, the first single from the Los Angeles' quartet's original line-up in 34 years.
The song was premiered live at the band's intimate show at London's Bush Hall on May 23, a gig which saw vocalist Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro, bassist Eric Avery and drummer Stephen Perkins onstage together for the first time since 2010.
“It’s time,” the band say in a statement announcing the single. “Welcome to the next chapter of Jane’s Addiction. Imminent Redemption is only the beginning.”
The opening verse of the single runs:
"Let's make some good trouble
Let's call in the drummer
High stakes and high drama
And we need the women too!"

The band previously premiered the as-yet-unreleased True Love at a show in California last year.
Meanwhile, Dave Navarro spoke recently about his grief and pain following the loss of his friend Taylor Hawkins, the late Foo Fighters drummer, and revealed that he, Hawkins, and AC/DC bassist Chris Chaney had recorded an album together before the drummer's passing.
In an upcoming interview with Guitar World, the guitarist reveals that NHC had actually finished their debut album, when the news of Hawkins' death broke on March 25, 2022.
“We mixed and mastered it and then, we lost Taylor,” he says. “That was in the middle of Covid, and it was actually very painful for me to pick up the guitar after that.”
“I'll be honest – I didn't pick up the guitar for about a year,” he continues. “And because he [Taylor Hawkins] was such an inspiring artist… Not only was he a phenomenal drummer, but he was also an amazing songwriter and lyricist, and he was just one of those humans that everybody loved. Everybody loved him.”
