 Rock
n' roll
royalty converged Saturday night at
Bare pool lounge
at
The Mirage
to fete
Perry Farrell,
founder of
Lollapalooza
and legendary alternative rock band
Jane’s Addiction,
who celebrated his golden birthday with a
“PerryPalooza”
bash thrown by his wife,
Etty Farrell.
The nighttime concert thrown at the normally
tops-optional daytime pool included incredible
collaborations and covers done by Farrell,
Billy Idol, Deborah Harry, Juliette Lewis, Dave
Navarro, Mark McGrath, Mickey Avalon,
and
Donovan Leitch.
The rockfest also featured performances by

spirit and sang along.
 Musical
highlights included
Dave Navarro accompanying
Billy Idol on "Rebel Yell" and
the concert's finale,
"Jane Says,"
performed by Perry and the all-star cast of
rockers. The concert was interrupted as
Farrell’s wife, and everyone on
stage toasted Farrell with Dom Perignon before
he was presented with a six foot long cake
shaped like a lollipop created by
Jean-Philippe Patisserie.
Every rocker in the house jammed along as the
entire concert sang along to an acoustic rock ‘n
roll version of
“Happy Birthday.”

his own cabana.
