Jane's Addiction's Perry Farrell hospitalised after Atlanta gig

Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell was taken to hospital by ambulance following a performance in Atlanta last night (May 10).

The singer tore a calf muscle during the gig at the Lakewood Amphitheatre but carried on performing to complete the set.

After an examination at the Atlanta Medical Center, doctors advised Farrell to stay off his leg for several days but he still plans to perform tomorrow night (May 12) when the tour hits Austin, TX, says the Associated Press .

Jane's Addiction are currently on a tour of North America with Nine Inch Nails and Tom Morello’s band Street Sweeper.
