JANE'S ADDICTION'S CHARITY SHOWS FOR SICK FAN

JANE'S ADDICTION are offering fans the chance to get up close and personal with the group on its current U.S. tour.

Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro, Eric Avery, Stephen Perkins of Jane's Addiction at the US NME Awards held at the El Rey Theatre. Los Angeles, California - 23.04.08

The rockers are hoping to raise enough cash with the generous pledge for one of their fans, Eric De La Cruz, to get a heart transplant.

The band have devised special $1,000 (£600) VIP packages that will allow 10 lucky devotees access to a private backstage show before every gig.

In a message on their website, Nine Inch Nails' frontman Trent Reznor writes, 'Since this fundraiser began, the Jane's guys have been wanting to contribute somehow and they've come up with something really cool. These guys actually set up and play for a good chunk of time in a room backstage to warm up and jam together BEFORE they hit the stage. Jane's stuff, covers, who knows.

"They'll allow 10 guests per show (strictly limited) to come backstage and hang out with them while they play in their practice room (literally standing right next to them in a small, intimate living-room type environment), grab autographs and then watch Jane's Addiction from the side of the stage if you'd like.

"If you're a Jane's fan, this is an incredibly rare opportunity to see and meet these guys in action close up like you've never seen before.

"All proceeds from this will go to help Eric De LA Cruz get a new heart and a new chance at life. Eric is of the many left behind by a broken, uncaring health-care system."
