The band has released several albums during their career, three of them titled ‘Jane’s Addiction,’ ‘Nothing’s Shocking’ and ‘Ritual De Lo Habitual.’ However, in 1991, Farrell fell into a pit of heroin addiction and that led to the split-up of ‘Jane’s Addiction.’ After that, Farrell founded the first Lollapalooza tour as a way of saying goodbye to the music scene. He later became a part of the band Porno for Pyros, and Jane’s Addiction got back together multiple times during the following period. Farrell has also made miscellaneous appearances and collaborations in several songs for his solo career.
