Jane's Addiction cancels ENTIRE tour as Dave Navarro gives heartbreaking statement on Perry Farrell after onstage bust up

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.

I know. I’m one of them.

I don’t subscribe to the grace slick koolaid. I like the spirit of the jazz guys who play until they die or can’t perform.

What is the grace slick cool aid? She was rocking into her 70s wasn’t she? And on the subject of grace slick she when she was younger she was one of the most if not the most beautiful women in rock roll ever.

Probably 2nd was the lead singer to the bangles

was upset by being ‘drowned out’ by his bandmates playing too loudly. so why dint he punch the soundman???

Because he couldn't admit to himself that the sound man was turning him down because he sounded terrible. (If they even had a sound man).

I don’t know if this would have even made the headlines back in 1993 when a few people knew who they were. Someone remind me who they are again?

About 1995 one of them did a short solo thing

There was a song that I really liked

I know it was 1994-1995 because I know which job I was working at the time

But I CANNOT remember which one or which song it was

Oops 😬

I was pretty overwhelmed with stuff for about the next 10 years

Grace slick retired from music in 1990 and later said was, “All rock-and-rollers over the age of 50 look stupid and should retire.”.

> 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!

It was Gary Larson, not Kliban, but whatever.... and the cartoon's soundman was named "Raymond".

In the late 90's I was playing in a couple bands that gigged at a college bar/club in Ithaca NY, where the layout of the room was horrendous, the main PA speakers were necessarily asymmetrically positioned, the monitors covered a third of the stage because the stage was so small. But it was a fun crowd to play for.

Anyway, one of the regular soundman was named Raymond, so we printed up a huge poster of that cartoon and mounted it above the mixing console. And from time to time one of the guitarists would yell out, "Raymond! Gimme more suck in my monitor!" It was a hoot.

Copying Chode in case he remembers The Nines in Collegetown....

That would have been the sensible thing to do.

I've been known to put down my guitar, jump off the front of the stage, and storm back to the soundboard and give the soundman a piece of my mind. Never hit anybody though, I'm noisy but non-violent.
