Rhonda's Kiss, an organization that helps cancer patients in need, announced today that legendary rock band Jane's Addiction will perform at their annual concert event on Friday, Dec. 8 at The Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles. Proceeds from the concert event will benefit the Cedars-Sinai Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute and further the mission of Rhonda's Kiss, supporting programs to assist cancer patients in need, and helping those who receive a cancer diagnosis make ends meet during treatment. Rhonda's Kiss is a 501 (c) (3). To date, the charity has donated nearly $1 million to hospitals to support cancer programs and patients.
"At Cedars-Sinai, it is our mission to treat the cancer patient as a whole, rather than just the disease," said Amin Mirhadi, MD, radiation oncologist at the Cedars-Sinai Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute. "We are proud to collaborate with the Rhonda's Kiss foundation to help us achieve that." "Raising money for cancer is a reminder that every day, people are struggling with the disease and need the support to maintain their dignity and fight," said Kyle Stefanski, CEO of Rhonda's Kiss. "We are blessed to have strong support from artists such as Jane's Addiction, the public, and hospitals like Cedars-Sinai to be able to help more and more people fight this terrible disease." Great bands break rules, but legends write their own. JANE'S ADDICTION has actually written the rule book for alternative music and culture through a combination of genre-defying classic songs and a cinematic live experience. In 1988, Jane's Addiction would officially arrive as a pop culture force with their first proper studio album, Nothing's Shocking. Perry Farrell stands out as one of music's most forward-thinking and enigmatic frontmen, and his vocals soar with vibrancy, vulnerability and vitality. Guitar god Dave Navarro conjures simultaneously psychedelic and epic riffs. Stephen Perkins' tribal stomp remains hypnotic and transfixing. The band created a sound that the world had never heard before. It was as riff heavy as it was sensitive. Farrell lyrically chronicled the stranger side of L.A. life, telling personal tales that'd stick with fans just as much as Navarro's licks did.Funds are distributed by local hospitals in areas where money is raised.
