Jane’s Addiction issue update after on-stage brawl

All is not well in iconic rock band Jane’s Addiction, with the rockers cancelling their next show after a wild on-stage brawl.

Jane’s Addiction issued an apology and canceled their upcoming show after the lead singer Perry Farrell punched guitarist Dave Navarro during their concert Saturday.

“We want to extend a heartfelt apology to our fans for the events that unfolded last night,” the rock band wrote on their Instagram Stories after the show.

“As a result we will be cancelling tomorrow night’s show in Bridgeport. Refunds will be issued at your point of purchase – or if you purchased via a third-party reseller (StubHub, SeatGeek, etc.), reach out to them directly. Thank you Jane’s Addiction.”

The “Jane Says” musicians’ statement came hours after Perry’s wife, Etty Farrell, shared a video of the brawl to her Instagram account.

The bandmates come to blows.

In the clip, Farrell, 65, could be seen angrily singing into the mic before slamming his body into Navarro, 57, during a show at the Leader Bank Pavilion music venue in Boston.

Perry then began shouting at the former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist, who tried to keep his bandmate away by placing his forearm on his chest.

Perry threw a punch at his bandmate before they were separated by crew members.

Navarro could be seen placing his guitar on the stage before walking away.

While the cause of the fight is still unknown, Etty revealed on Instagram that there had been some “tension and animosity” surrounding the guys leading up to the incident.

“Perry’s frustration had been mounting, night after night, he felt that the stage volume had been extremely loud and his voice was being drowned out by the band,” she wrote.

“Perry had been suffering from tinnitus and a sore throat every night. But when the audience in the first row, started complaining up to Perry cussing at him that the band was planning too loud and that they couldn’t hear him, Perry lost it.”

Etty, 49, also claimed that a different altercation occurred behind the stage, with bassist Eric Avery, 59, putting “Perry in a headlock and [punching] him in the stomach three times.”

The dancer said her husband, whom she wed in 2002, became “a crazed beast” in the 30 minutes following the fight and then “cried and cried.”

Jane’s Addiction did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
