Something similar happened at a Boston concert on Friday. Perry Farrell, known as the “godfather of alternative music,” got so mad during a song that he shoved his guitarist, Dave Navarro, with his fist. Farrell then threw another punch, knocking Navarro backward, and the crowd fell silent in shock.
Perry Farrell had to be held back by the crew and taken off stage while fans booed. The show ended shortly after, and the house lights came on.
The fight between the band members, which Navarro didn’t seem to expect, was filmed by several people in the audience.
Fans on social media, who came to see Jane’s Addiction on their reunion tour, said trouble started earlier in the show when Perry reportedly yelled at Navarro. The issues continued throughout the performance, which included a song called “Summertime Rolls.”
A videographer at the show tweeted that Perry Farrell was seen with a huge bottle of wine all night.
The band, known for mixing psychedelic rock, punk, and heavy metal, broke up in 1991. Eric Avery, a founding member, had refused to reunite for years but came back in 2022 after a 12-year break. Navarro, now 57, missed the reunion tour because of long Covid.
The band finally reunited for their first show in 14 years in May and was on a lengthy US tour.
This week in New York City, there were some issues with the band during their two-night show at The Rooftop at Pier 17. Farrell told the audience that his voice wasn’t doing well and he couldn’t hit the notes properly. Later, bassist Eric Avery posted on Instagram, saying he was excited to try again at the same venue and hoped for a better performance.
