Jane’s Addiction has extended an apology to their fans after a distressing incident at a recent concert in Massachusetts led to a physical altercation between band members on stage. During their performance at the Leader Bank Pavilion in Boston, Perry Farrell and Dave Navarro were involved in a fight that disrupted the event.
Through a post on Instagram, the band expressed regret for the altercation and informed fans about the cancellation of their next concert scheduled in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on October 16. They also provided information on how those who attended the Boston show could get refunds.
Footage captured by a news outlet shows a tense scene where Perry Farrell, the band’s lead vocalist, attempted a body check on Dave Navarro, the guitarist, and tried to punch him. The punch missed Navarro but struck his guitar. The stage crew quickly intervened, pulling Farrell away and bringing the concert to an abrupt halt.
Etty, Perry Farrell’s spouse, also voiced her opinions on the incident via Instagram attributing some fault to bassist Eric Avery and hinting at ongoing tensions within the group. She criticized Eric for his involvement in the situation that escalated between Farrell and Navarro.
The event has stirred disappointment and shock among fans and people in the music industry. Despite the apologies, there remain concerns regarding the internal relationships and well-being of the band members. As Jane’s Addiction looks to recover from this incident, they acknowledge the necessity to address these internal issues to retain their fanbase’s trust and support.
In conclusion, their Instagram statement emphasized their remorse and dedication to rectifying the situation, expressing hope that their fans will continue to support them during this challenging period.
