Perry Farrell

Perry Farrell (born March 29, 1959) is a musician particularly noted for his many roles in alternative rock during the 1990s.

In 2001, he put out a solo album, Song Yet To Be Sung, whose lyrics are much inspired by Jewish mysticism.\nFarrell restarted Jane's Addiction and Lollapalooza in 2003.\nPerry Farrell occasionally DJs under the stage name of DJ Peretz.
