Jane's Addiction have now cancelled their entire tour following the onstage bust-up between guitarist Dave Navarro and lead singer Perry Farrell.
The duo got into a fight last week in the middle of their Boston show, with eyewitnesses claiming Farrell, 65, began shouting at Navarro during 'Mountain Song.'
On Monday, Navarro, 57, told fans the tour would no longer continue.
'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,' Navarro said in a statement.
He continued: '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.'
'We deeply regret that we are not able to come through for all our fans who have already bought tickets. We can see no solution that would either ensure a safe environment on stage or reliably allow us to deliver a great performance on a nightly basis.'
Navarro signed off the statement with a heartbreaking message, adding: 'Our hearts are broken. Dave, Eric and Stephen.'
This was the first tour in 14 years that featured the band's original lineup.
The post comes after Farrell's wife Etty Lau broke her silence after her husband attacked his lead guitarist, claiming the frontman was upset by being 'drowned out' by his bandmates playing too loudly.
Lau took to Instagram to share her husband's side of the story after he was slammed for body-checking and punching guitarist Dave Navarro on stage on Friday night.

“claiming the frontman was upset by being ‘drowned out’ by his bandmates playing too loudly.’” She knows better than that.
Totally. He’s such a creepy POS. He needs to slither under a rock and never show his face in public again.
my thought exactly

It’s funny how all these hard rockers are senior citizens now and qualify for Social Security

Such a tremendous loss to the cultural life of our nation.
I met a girl back in the ‘90s who used to know Perry. She said he had a a habit of walking right up to people, nose to nose, and staring into their eyes. Her family hated him. Always enjoyed his work with Jane’s Addiction and Porno for Pyros - sad to see he’s got some issues.
“was upset by being ‘drowned out’ by his bandmates playing too loudly.”
In ears + less stage volume via plexi-shields or Palmer speaker emulators would deal with that but the problem is probably much bigger than the triggering incident.
Most of them don't throw punches about it. Or if they do, it isn't on stage.

“upset by being ‘drowned out’ by his bandmates “
How is that the bandmates’ fault? They aren’t at the mixing board.
I like the old politically incorrect concerts they had back in the day...

Axl Rose has pulled some pretty wild stunts. Got mad at an audience for not singing loud enough, told them Sweet Child O mine is about a coke bottle up the bum and then walked off.
How about Richard Thompson and his wife at the time— who tripped him flat on his face at a large show during walk on and introduction. Whooo boy. Course he went sufi muslim so there is that.
The video of this is on YouTube. He was visibly nuts. Psychotic break / dementia startled = super volatile dude with no checks. Took multiple people to restrain him.
Great cartoon from kliban iirc— the soundman’s LAST day—
character is turning a knob on the soundboard all the way past 10 on the “SUCK” master control knob! Hilarious, almost as much as the true input master released of Britney Spears (largely lip syncing with full sound track- not having to “sing” fwiw)— grunts and mouthings of non-musical sounds. Maybe that person’s last day, too!
Who is Jane?
Who is Perry Farrell?
Who is Dave Navarro?
Too old. Get off the stage
