(10/16/03, 3 p.m. ET) -- Jane's Addiction was a last-minute replacement for Ozzy Osbourne at last night's Fashion Rocks For The Prince's Trust fundraising event at London's Royal Albert Hall. The group was scheduled to perform while modeling the clothes of designer Julien McDonald. The event, a combination concert and fashion show, was hosted by actors Dennis Leary and Elizabeth Hurley. Ozzy had to bow out of the event, as well as his entire European tour, when it was revealed that he was being treated at Tufts University in Boston for a nervous tremor.

Although he had to cancel out of the show at the last minute, Ozzy donated $50,000 to the Prince's Trust, England's leading charity for young people in need.

Jane's Addiction is currently on tour in Europe and flew to England from Spain to make last night's show.

Camp Freddy, the "jam band" consisting of Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro, Cult bassist Billy Morrison, Velvet Revolver drummer Matt Sorum, and vocalist Donovan Leitch, will play a one-off show at the Avalon Theatre in Los Angeles on November 15. The show, sponsored by Vanity Fair magazine, will raise money for a women's charity called Step Up. Camp Freddy will begin recording their debut album next month, with a release planned for spring of 2004.
