Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell breaks his silence on Dave Navarro fight and tour

“They both know that Perry caused the situation on stage and it was his responsibility to apologize,” the source explained.

As for Farrell, the insider added that he is “heartbroken over his actions” and that he now needs to put himself first.

“He realizes he waited too long to put his well-being first. His exhaustion and the strain it has placed on both his physical and mental health have gone too far,” the insider told The Post. “He had the best intentions when he went on tour with the band and feels he has let his fans and family down.”

The rock group canceled its Sunday show in Bridgeport, Connecticut, following Friday night's brawl, but that wasn't the only aftermath.

On Monday, Jane's Addiction canceled its remaining tour dates.

“To all fans, the band has made the difficult decision to take a break as a group,” the band said in a statement on their Instagram account.

“For this reason, they will be cancelling the remainder of the tour,” the message said, adding that fans would be refunded.

Navarro, drummer Stephen Perkins, both 57, and Avery, 59, released a separate statement blaming Farrell for the dispute and the cancellation of the tour.

“Due to an ongoing pattern of behavior and the mental health issues of our lead singer Perry Farrell, we have come to the conclusion that we have no choice but to cancel the current U.S. tour,” they said.

“Our concern for his personal health and safety, as well as our own, leaves us no choice. We hope he finds the help he needs,” they added.

“We deeply regret that we cannot accommodate all of our fans who have already purchased tickets. We see no solution that would either ensure a safe environment on stage or enable us to reliably deliver a great performance every night.”

Farrell's bandmates concluded by saying they were “heartbroken.”

Jane's Addiction was performing at the Leader Bank Pavilion when chaos broke out during the concert.

While singing “Ocean Size,” Farrell became visibly agitated and screamed at the crowd and his band before taking his anger out on Navarro.

The frontman began ramming his shoulder into the guitarist before throwing punches at him. Then others intervened and removed Farrell from the stage.

The band immediately apologized, after which Farrell's wife, Etty Lau Farrell, spoke out about the situation and shed light on what led to his outburst.

She claimed he became angry when the instruments began to drown out his voice.

Etty Lau claimed that when the three band members left the stage, Avery “went to Perry in the dark in the background, behind [sound technician Dan Cleary]took Perry in a headlock and punched him three times in the stomach.

“Perry was a mad animal for the next half hour – he finally didn't calm down but broke down and cried and cried,” she wrote.

Jane's Addiction was founded in Los Angeles in 1985. It quickly developed into one of the most successful alternative rock bands of the 90s.

The Grammy-nominated group had their first farewell tour in 1991. Their 2024 tour marked the reunion of the four original members after Avery returned to the band and Navarro returned after a long battle with COVID.

Jane's Addiction played 17 shows before the tour ended.

There wasn't always tension between Farrell and Navarro.

The frontman admitted that he missed Navarro during the guitarist's battle with COVID.

“I wish I had my dear guitarist with me,” Farrell told The Post in 2022. “[But] I live to bring entertainment and art to the world. And whatever I can do to entertain you and blow your mind, that's what I live for.”

The band filled Navarro's spot with several rockers, including guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen of Queen of the Stone Age and guitarist Josh Klinghoffer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

“How do you find a guitarist to follow in Dave Navarro's footsteps? We had to reach out to people we knew and liked, and of all the people we considered, Troy fit the bill the best,” said Farrell.
