What Happened Between Perry Farrell And Dave Navarro? Jane’s Addiction Boston Concert Incident Explored

by

As a die-hard fan who has followed Jane’s Addiction since their breakthrough album “Nothing’s Shocking,” I must say that the recent incident at their Boston concert was nothing short of shocking! The band, known for their electrifying live performances, seems to have lost some of its magic.

At the Leader Bank Pavilion in Boston on September 13, Jane’s Addiction’s concert had to end unexpectedly when lead singer Perry Farrell got into a physical fight with guitarist Dave Navarro on stage. This incident, which was recorded by fans, happened during the performance of Ocean Size, as reported by Billboard.

In response to something unclear, Farrell suddenly got very upset and moved towards Navarro, gripping his shoulder forcefully while yelling at him. The situation soon grew tense, as Farrell ultimately threw a punch at Navarro, who seemed bewildered and tried to understand what was transpiring.

It appears that Navarro was exclaiming in surprise or frustration when stage crew members stepped in to control Farrell, leading him offstage. This unexpected action caused Navarro to put down his guitar and leave the stage prematurely, thereby cutting short the performance which typically consists of 14 to 15 songs. At this moment, Jane’s Addiction has not provided any clarification on the incident, leaving the cause of Farrell’s outburst a mystery.

Perry Farrell’s wife, Etty Lau Farrell, took to social media soon after the concert in Boston to discuss the incident. In a post on Instagram, she brought up the escalating tension within the band, suggesting it could have played a role in the altercation. As Etty Lau mentioned, Perry had been increasingly agitated in the days leading up to the Boston show.

Etty Lau stated in her post that it was evident there had been much strain and hostility among the group members. She also shared a fan-recorded video of the event. In her words, “The force that made the band so captivating… it seemed they’d ignited a fuse.

It seems she shared that Perry was struggling to hear his own singing due to the high stage volume. Additionally, discomfort expressed by front-row fans seemed to drive the lead singer to the brink.

Perry had been enduring ringing ears (tinnitus) and a persistent sore throat every night,” she explained. However, when members of the front row began berating Perry, swearing at him for the band being too loud and making it hard to hear him, Perry became visibly upset.

Hey there! Guess what? In my excitement as a die-hard fan, I just can’t keep this juicy bit of news to myself. So, here goes: Etty Lau dropped an explosive update on her socials, revealing that the feud between Jane’s Addiction band members wasn’t solely between Farrell and Navarro. Intriguingly, it seems Perry Farrell and Eric Avery, our legendary bassist, had a heated backstage altercation! According to Etty, things took a turn for the worse when Avery locked Perry in a headlock and landed three punches straight to his midsection. Wow, talk about band dynamics getting intense, right?

The Boston show was a stop on Jane’s Addiction’s comeback tour, marking their initial appearance with their original members in 14 years. This tour, starting in early August, generated excitement among followers of the iconic alternative rock group.
