Producer and engineer Dave Jerden, known for his work with the likes of Jane’s Addiction, Alice In Chains, The Rolling Stones and more, has died at the age of 75.

The news was confirmed in a Facebook post shared by Jerden’s son Bryan on Thursday (January 6). “Our father David Jerden passed away peacefully in his sleep yesterday February 5th. It’s hard to express in words what he meant to me, my sister Michelle, and the rest of our family,” began the post.

It continued: “He was larger than life and was deeply passionate about so many things, from history to science, but above all he was a music maker. He worked with so many great artists and together they forged some very interesting and memorable musical pathways and of which I am very proud.

“We will miss his smile, his uncontrollable laughter, his mind-bending stories and great conversations. The memories will live on forever. The music will live on and so will our love. Rest well, Dad. Thanks for your love and inspiration.”

Dave Navarro took to his official Instagram account to share a photo of Jerden with a caption that read: “Jane’s Addiction lost a very special friend this week… producer Dave Jerden. Dave produced our first two studio albums, ‘Nothing’s Shocking’ and ‘Ritual’.

“Along with engineer @ronnie.s.champagne, Dave helped us discover our own sound through exploration rather than having his own agenda. He will be forever missed. Dave was a founding family member of the band and we wish him peace on his journey. R.I.P. Dave.”

The Psychedelic Furs also paid tribute to the late producer and engineer with a tweet on X/Twitter that read: “We are saddened to hear of the passing of #LoveSpitLove producer Dave Jerden                         </div>
