Janes Addiction announced yesterday they are parting ways with bassist Duff McKagan five months after welcoming him into the band. McKagan performed several concerts with the band and worked on their first new album in seven years, but musical differences led to the split.
"Hey we wanted to thank Duff for helping us write songs for our new record," the band said in an email. "We love the songs we worked on with him -- and the gigs were a blast -- but musically we were all headed in different directions. From here Duff is off to work on his own stuff so we wish him all the best."
McKagan was a founding member of Guns n' Roses, and also spent some time in Velvet Revolver. Jane's Addiction has not announced a replacement.
