In a developing story surrounding the iconic rock band Jane's Addiction, tensions have escalated between guitarist Dave Navarro and frontman Perry Farrell, leading to speculation about Navarro's future with the group. This incident occurred during a concert in Boston on September 13, where an onstage altercation resulted in the band canceling their next show planned for Bridgeport.
Witnesses reported that the conflict began during the performance of "Mountain Song," escalating through subsequent songs, culminating in Farrell reportedly shoving Navarro and attempting to strike him while performing "Ocean Size." The band, now made up of its original members—Farrell, Navarro, Stephen Perkins, and Eric Avery—has returned to making music together after a long hiatus, recently releasing the single "Imminent Redemption."
Following the altercation, Navarro uploaded a cryptic black-and-white photo on Instagram with the caption "Goodnight," which has led fans to speculate about his potential exit from the band. Reports indicate that both Navarro and Farrell have unfollowed each other on social media, further fueling rumors of discord. Farrell's wife, Etty Lau, later intervened, mentioning that frustrations about sound levels and personal grievances among the band members had been simmering, which might have contributed to the explosive situation.
As the story continues to evolve, Jane's Addiction representatives have been approached for comment. For more insights on the band's history, visit Jane's Addiction on NME.
