Jane's Addiction show ends in chaos as Perry Farrell throws punch at Dave Navarro

Alan Pedder

Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell flipped out mid-song during the band's show in Boston last night, barging into guitarist Dave Navarro screaming "Fuck you" and trying to land a punch when Navarro tried to push him away.

A still-agitated Farrell was then bundled off stage by bassist Eric Avery and crew members, bringing the show – and possibly the band – abruptly to an end.

There was no apparent provocation on the part of a shocked looking Navarro, although reports on X say that trouble had been brewing between the two men since a couple of songs earlier.

Navarro only recently rejoined the band after being sidelined with long Covid since 2021. After Farrell left the stage, Navarro, Avery, and Jane's Addiction drummer Stephen Perkins – who was celebrating his 57th birthday – hugged each other and gave thanks to the crowd. The band recently released a new single "Imminent Redemption", their first with the original lineup in 34 years.

Jane's Addiction have 15 shows left on their current tour... if they still go ahead.
