Perry Farrell is firing on all cylinders beyond Jane's Addiction's upcoming arena tour with Smashing Pumpkins. Spin.com reported today (July 27th), Farrell will appear at a benefit concert spearheaded by Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan to raise money for the victims of the July 4th mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois, which has been the musician's home for the past two decades. The show will be live-streamed from Madame Zuzu's, the tea shop Corgan and partner Chloe Mendel own in downtown Highland Park.
Ahead of this week's Lollapalooza festival at Chicago's Grant Park, Farrell will appear with Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot today, and shed light on why he's been so involved with the Highland Park attack: “It’s something that I’ve been thinking about for a long, long time: gun violence. What is the cause of it, how do you alleviate it.”
The Together And Together Again – A Benefit For The Highland Park Community Foundation begins tonight (July 27th) at 9 ET, live on Smashing Pumpkins' YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/3vjiJMC
