In a stunning display of in-band tension, Jane's Addiction encountered a dramatic onstage altercation during their concert in Boston last night. The performance was part of their ongoing tour with Love and Rockets and began with a charged atmosphere that escalated during their set.
As they played songs including "Mountain Song" and "Three Days," lead singer Perry Farrell showcased visible agitation. The confrontation erupted during the song "Ocean Days," when Farrell abruptly crossed the stage towards guitarist Dave Navarro. Eyewitness reports indicate that Farrell began pushing and shouting at Navarro amidst a guitar solo, leading to a physical brawl that prompted other band members and crew to intervene and separate the two musicians.
The brawl led to the abrupt halt of the show mid-song, causing concern among fans regarding the future trajectory of the tour. The tour is slated to continue until the end of October, with several scheduled performances still on the roster. Given the history of onstage disputes within rock bands, the prognosis for Jane's Addiction's immediate future remains uncertain. Observers speculate that backstage resolutions or professional counseling may be in order for the band to reconcile and maintain their tour schedule.
Although tensions appear high, fans of both Jane's Addiction and Love and Rockets are left hoping for quick healing to facilitate a smooth continuation of the tour. For fans interested in further developments, more information can be found on Louder Than War.
