Jane's Addiction front man Perry Farrell was forced to go to hospital on Sunday night after injuring himself on stage during the band's tour with Nine Inch Nails.

Farrell tore a calf during the first song of the set at the Lakewood Amphitheatre but managed to soldier on through the show.

A statement released by the band said that the singer was taken to the Atlanta Medical Center after the concert.

Doctors have advised to rest the leg for several days but the band still plan to play their show at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin on Tuesday night.
