Following the altercation between co-founders Perry Farrell and Dave Navarro at Jane’s Addiction’s concert last Friday night Boston at Leader Bank Pavilion, the band has now canceled their entire tour. Refunds are available from the point of purchase. The band acknowledged the incident and apologized to fans in a series of posts you can read below. We await news about the remaining fourteen dates on the tour. Perry Farrell, who appeared to be drunk and otherwise impaired, assaulted Dave Navarro during end of the song “Ocean Size,” towards the end of their set. Farrell, who has seemed to struggle with sobriety on this tour, and reports of the band’s mixed performances have marred what was supposed to be a triumphant tour, likely one of their last. Farrell aggressively bumped shoulders with Navarro, and got in the guitarist’s face and cursed at him. Navarro seemed to not know why Farrell attacked him. Dave stopped playing and put a hand up to Farrell’s chest to prevent him from furthering the incident. Then Farrel seemed to punch Navarro in the face before being held back by a roadie and Jane’s Addiction bassist Eric Avery. Avery and the bands’ roadcrew forced the singer off-stage. Their are 15 dates left on the tour with openers Love & Rockets, set to end in Los Angeles on October 16th. Later in the evening, Farrell’s wife, Etty Lau Farrell, gave Perry’s side of the story that tensions had been mounting the entire tour with the band being too loud on stage and Perry struggling due to tinnitus and a sore throat every night. Watch videos and read the statements by Perry, the other three band members, and the band as a whole. Comments are off on Dave Navarro and the Jane’s account posts. Continue reading →
