(NEWSER) – Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro is a COVID-19 long-hauler, and he wants others with the condition to know they’re not alone. Navarro, 54, described his situation in a weekend Instagram post, which has since been deleted, per People. “So yeah, I’m one of the ones who came down with the ‘long-haul COVID,’” Navarro wrote. “Been sick since December and supposedly will be back to my old self in … nobody knows how long.” He explained that he continues to have symptoms despite negative test results. “The fatigue and isolation is pretty awful, but try to spend your time with the ones you love and stay creative,” he advises others.
Jane’s Addiction recently canceled an appearance at the Welcome to Rockville festival in Florida. The “long-dormant band” Porno for Pyros took their place, according to Stereogum. Perry Farrell sings for both, and apparently he initially divulged that the change was due to Navarro’s “long bout with COVID.” In the post elaborating on his condition, Navarro credited meditation, yoga, love, and laughter with helping him to cope, per NME, and he wrote, “All indicators are pointing to a full recovery at some point!”
