Perry Farrell Faces Backlash After Onstage Fight Leads to Jane's Addiction Tour Cancellation

Perry Farrell's Apology

Perry Farrell, lead singer for Jane's Addiction, apologized to his bandmates and fans in a statement to Variety after a fight broke out on stage Friday. This weekend has been incredibly difficult and after having the time and space to reflect, it is only right that I apologize to my bandmates, especially Dave Navarro, fans, family and friends for my actions during Friday's show. The statement continued, 'Unfortunately, my breaking point resulted in inexcusable behavior, and I take full accountability for how I chose to handle the situation.'

Consequences of the Fight

Jane's Addiction decided to pull the plug on the rest of their reunion tour after fans caught the scuffle between Farrell and guitarist Dave Navarro. Videos of the fight show Farrell singing loudly into his mic and then lunging at Navarro, eventually taking a swing at him. The guitarist held his arm out to keep Farrell away before others pulled Farrell off stage. The show ended shortly after this incident. Navarro shared an Instagram post on Monday morning, apologizing to the fans for the fight and the tour cancellation.

Band's Statement

'Due to a continuing pattern of behavior and the mental health difficulties of our singer Perry Farrell, we have come to the conclusion that we have no choice but to discontinue the current US tour.' The post's caption read. Our concern for his personal health and safety as well as our own has left us no alternative. We hope that he will find the help he needs.

• The band expressed their sadness and concern regarding the tour cancellation.
• Refunds for the canceled dates will be available at the point of purchase.
• Fans were encouraged to reach out to third-party resale sites for assistance.
