The band, consisting of guitarist Dave, vocalist Perry Farrell, bassist Eric Avery and drummer Stephen Perkins, premiered the song during their concert in London this week.

The song, titled Imminent Redemption, is their first song with bassist Eric since 1990’s double-platinum album Ritual de lo Habitual.

In a joint statement they said The sun: “It’s different this time. To have everyone back together, to release new music. It’s time.”

Before adding: ‘Welcome to the next chapter of Jane’s Addiction. Imminent Redemption is just the beginning.’

The band originally split in 1991, with Dave joining The Red Hot Chilli Peppers between 1993 and 1998, appearing on their album One Hot Minute.

They later reunited and released albums in 2003 and 2011, and a one-off single in 2013. They also toured all over the world.

Last year, during an appearance on Brazilian radio, singer Perry Farrell said the band was working on new songs and that he “couldn’t wait” for fans to hear them.

Saying, “I feel like we don’t know how many of these new batch of songs we’re going to release yet.”

In 2022, the band had to cancel their concert at the Welcome To Rockville music festival in Florida due to Dave suffering from prolonged COVID-19.

He revealed in a now-deleted Instagram post that he has been battling “long Covid” for months and that there is no end in sight to his symptoms.

People with long-term Covid are people who have been positively diagnosed with Covid-19, but who continue to experience persistent symptoms for weeks or months after the initial illness has disappeared.

“So yes, I am one of those who got the ‘long haul covid’. I have been sick since December and will reportedly be back to normal in… no one knows how long,” Navarro wrote.

“If there are people who are still suffering long after the negative results are known, I say: you are not alone.

“The fatigue and the isolation are pretty awful, but try to spend time with the people you love and stay creative,” he continued.

Navarro added that he relies on spiritual practices to get through the worst of it and that “meditation and yoga in particular have been very helpful.”

Long Covid, or post-Covid conditions (PCC), occurs when patients who have recovered from their initial Covid virus still have persistent symptoms. There is some evidence that patients with long Covid can have symptoms for years.

According to the CDCSymptoms of long Covid typically include: extreme fatigue, post-exertional malaise, fever, difficulty breathing, cough, chest pain, palpitations, brain fog, headache, trouble sleeping, dizziness, tingling, loss of smell/taste, depression or anxiety, diarrhea, stomach pain, joint or muscle pain, skin rash, and changes in menstrual cycle.

“It will be fine, I just don’t know when,” Navarro said, adding that “all indicators point to us having a full recovery at some point!”

Dave concluded his message by asking people not to send well wishes because he “I’m so tired of talking about this.
