In a stunning display of in-band tension, Jane's Addiction experienced a dramatic onstage altercation during their concert in Boston last night. The performance, part of their ongoing tour with Love and Rockets, began with a charged atmosphere that escalated during the set.
As they played songs including "Mountain Song" and "Three Days," lead singer Perry Farrell displayed visible agitation. The real confrontation erupted during the song "Ocean Days," when Farrell abruptly crossed the stage towards guitarist Dave Navarro. Reports indicate that Farrell began pushing and shouting at Navarro amidst a guitar solo, leading to a physical brawl that saw other band members and crew attempt to intervene and separate the two musicians.
The brawl resulted in the show being halted mid-song, causing concern among fans regarding the future of the tour. As scheduled, the tour is set to continue until the end of October with multiple upcoming dates. Given past instances of onstage disputes in rock history, the prognosis for Jane's Addiction's immediate future remains uncertain. Observers speculate that backstage resolutions or even professional counseling may be in order for the band to reconcile and maintain their tour schedule.
While tensions appear high, fans of both Jane's Addiction and Love and Rockets are left hoping for swift healing to allow the tour to proceed smoothly. For fans interested in further developments, more information can be found on Louder Than War.
