“And the producer we were working with at the time, his name was John Alcock. It’s just that I think Lita and Sandy wanted to go in that direction much more than I did.” She recently sculpted a life-size guitar as a gift for Fanning on her 16th birthday. When Lita Ford stated in her memoir, Living Like A Runaway, published in 2016, that she had once left the band after learning that all but one band member were attracted to women, this was somewhat confirmed. Currie, now 50, is a chainsaw artist, carving mermaids and teddy bears out of tree stumps. In 1976, Jett and Currie allegedly experimented together, according to a 2010 Hitfix interview. The entire disturbing situation was made even worse by Jackie’s allegations that her last memory of the night was Joan Jett and Cherie Currie staring at her during the attack. “I was definitely more a straight-up punk rock, rock and roll thing,” she continued. The Runaways bandmate Cherie Currie was the subject of Jett’s subsequent liaison. Jefferon Starship sounds like a fucking Disney ride or something. “I think as we each grew up and were figuring out more who we were as musicians, and really the kind of music we wanted to play, it started to diverge a little bit.” Joan Jett: No, man, I like Airplane better. “I just think it was a natural progression.” “I think really after Cherie left, after Japan, we made another what I thought was a really good album called Waitin’ For The Night,” Joan Jett explained. In a new interview with Lars Ulrich for his Apple Music’s Beats 1 It’s Electric program ( via Blabbermouth), Joan Jett revealed that the band’s dissolution came at a period when she and Lita Ford were disagreeing with the band’s future sound. Now, Joan Jett has set the record straight, explaining exactly what went on. While their legacy remains, many fans have often found themselves wondering about the circumstances behind the band’s breakup.

By 1977, the band’s classic lineup of Lita Ford, Joan Jett, Cherie Currie, Sandy West, and Jackie Fox had begun to dissolve, and barely 18 months later, the group had officially disbanded.
