Jane Addiction’s Dave Navarro made a major change in his life after the rock band’s disaster tour.
The 57-year-old rock star married actress and fashion designer Vanessa DuBasso, 32, on Saturday, hosting a multi-day celebration in Scotland for their nuptials.
The pair tied the knot in a ‘gothic’ and ‘darkly romantic’ wedding at an ‘enchanting,’ Scottish castle, according to People.
The couple hosted their wedding ceremony in the forest, danced in the dungeon for their reception and ended their festivities with a barbecue and a bonfire on the beach.
This comes about six months after his band’s tour was abruptly cancelled after a brawl erupted between Navarro and lead singer Perry Farrell in the middle of their show.
It is unknown if Navarro’s Jane’s Addiction bandmates were a part of the wedding, but comedian Pete Davidson was reportedly a guest in attendance, per the outlet.

Now, the newlyweds plan to settle down ‘somewhere far away’ in a ‘home immersed in nature’ after enjoying their honeymoon in Edinburgh.
The musician, who is also known for playing guitar for the Red Hot Chili Peppers from 1993 to 1998, met his now-wife after he first saw her in a movie trailer and fell in love at first sight.
Enamored, he reached out to the movie’s director, which happened to be one of his friends, and asked if they could introduce him to her so he could take her on a date.
DuBasso said she was also ‘immediately’ smitten by the rock star, particularly his ‘green, chestnut eyes, tattoos and dark comedic humor.’
‘His whole being is powerfully magnetic, and it was love at first sight,’ she told People about how she knew he was the ‘love of my life.’
He was previously married to makeup artist Tania Goddard from 1990 to 1992.
He was also married to Rhian Gittins for just five days in 1994, tying the knot after three months of dating and getting their union annulled after less than a week.
His third marriage was to Playboy model and actress Carmen Electra from 2003 to 2007.

Navarro and DuBasso’s union comes after a disastrous onstage showdown erupted between Navarro and his bandmate, Farrell, during their Boston concert in September
Navarro and DuBasso’s union comes after a disastrous onstage showdown erupted between the guitarist and his bandmate, Farrell, during their Boston concert in September.
The rest of the band — drummer Stephen Perkins and bassist Eric Avery — had to break up the fight after Farrell confronted and punched Navarro in the middle of their show.
Following the onstage altercation, their tour was abruptly cancelled and a statement put out by the band expressed concern for Farrell’s well-being.
The concerts were halted due to ‘a continuing pattern of behavior and the mental health difficulties of our singer Perry Farrell,’ Navarro shared in a statement alongside Perkins and Avery.
Shortly before the tour’s cancellation, the singer issued an apology to his fellow bandmates.

Farrell’s wife Etty Lau also broke her silence, speaking out in defense of Farrell and explaining that he had gotten frustrated because his ‘voice was being drowned out by the band.’
Mid-song, Farrell, whom concertgoers reported seemed to be heavily intoxicated, had swung first at Navarro before they were pulled apart.
Their show in Boston happened only a week after the band played two sets in New York City to kick off their reunion tour.
In early 2024, the group got back together for the first time in 14 years.
