Jane\'s Addiction drummer Stephen Perkins has been admitted to the Infectious Disease Ward at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. Stephen is treated of an infection in his elbow.\"I know how excited we were to come play in Australia, and how long the fans there have waited for this. I want everyone Down Under to know that we will come back as soon as we can.\"
The six-concert Australian run was scheduled to begin July 25 in Byron Bay and conclude with an August 1 show in Perth.
The reformed original lineup of Jane\'s Addiction had been on their first world tour in over 17 years and had just returned to Los Angeles from a successful European leg when the mysterious infection was discovered after Perkins noticed severe swelling and pain building in his elbow.
