PERRY FARRELL (L) and DAVE NAVARRO (R)

The frontman reveals the group fell apart when guitarist Navarro started co-hosting the reality series, which found singers for INXS and Tommy Lee supergroup Rock Star: Supernova.

Farrell admits he "just couldn't believe it" when Navarro announced he was fronting a mainstream TV show.

He says, "Rock 'n' roll has never been about kissing ass and a contest. You know, rock 'n' roll is self-expression. It's defiance. It's freedom."
