Tom Morello named to take place of Jane’s Addiction at South Star festival

HUNTSVILLE — He’s known for raging against a machine, but Tom Morello’s solo work is just as intense.

In fact, his latest release “Soldier in the Army of Love,” has been called one of his best works ever.

And he will be bringing it to Huntsville on Saturday at the inaugural South Star Music Festival.

Morello is taking the place of Jane’s Addiction who cancelled their tour following an on-stage fracas between band members Dave Navarro and Perry Farrell. He will take the stage at 5:15 p.m.

Morello and his band Rage Against the Machine were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year.
