In September Jane’s Addiction singer and the creator of Lollapalooza Perry Farrell underwent spinal surgery. He’s 61 years old so that’s not unnormal, but the scary part is they had to remove his voice box in order to do the surgery. Perry told Classic Rock Magazine:
“It was successful. I have crushed discs in my neck, mostly from partying and leaning back my head to rip out notes and surfing and dancing around… There’s a long list,” explained the singer, adding, “They had to remove my voice box and put it on a table. That was daunting. They literally exposed my skeleton, took the discs out and put in artificial discs. So now I am a quarter inch taller and twice as attractive to my wife.”
Perry also recently announced a career spanning box set collecting songs from Jane’s Addiction, Porno for Pyros and even this song from his pre Jane’s Addiction band Psi Com
