Perry Farrell, lead singer of Jane’s Addiction, is taking a break from music to address health concerns following an onstage altercation with guitarist Dave Navarro. The incident occurred during the band’s Boston concert, where tensions between the members boiled over. Farrell’s wife, Etty Lau Farrell, shared an update, explaining that her husband’s frustration had been mounting due to stage conditions, and he’s now seeking help from medical specialists, including an otolaryngologist and a neurologist.
According to Etty Lau, Farrell had been experiencing tinnitus and throat issues, which contributed to his emotional outburst. Despite the band’s efforts to manage rising tensions, the conflict culminated in an aggressive moment on stage. Farrell later expressed his regret, apologizing to his bandmates and fans for his behavior, acknowledging that he reached a breaking point. The incident led to the cancellation of the band’s U.S. tour and the announcement of an indefinite hiatus.
Jane’s Addiction members Dave Navarro, Stephen Perkins, and Eric Avery issued a joint statement, explaining the decision to halt the tour due to Farrell’s ongoing mental health struggles. The shocking scene, captured by fans, showed Farrell lunging at Navarro before being restrained and escorted off the stage. Farrell has since taken full responsibility for his actions and is focused on recovery.
