Jane's Addiction has apologized to its fans for the onstage brawl in Boston that saw singer Perry Farrell throw a punch at guitarist Dave Navarro, bringing their show to an abrupt end. The band apologized and said it would cancel its upcoming show in Bridgeport, Connecticut, but did not provide any further details about the rest of the tour, which is scheduled to run through October 16.
“We want to extend our sincere apologies for the events that took place last night and as a result, we will be canceling our upcoming show in Bridgeport tonight,” the band wrote in an Instagram post, followed by details of the refund.
Friday's show ended abruptly when a visibly angry Farrell threw a punch at Navarro — and was subdued by crew members, still looking physically shaken as he was pushed off stage.
Footage circulating online shows the band deep into “Ocean Size,” the 11th number in a set that typically runs to 14 or 15 songs, when trouble erupts between the two most popular members of the veteran band. Some fans on social media reported that tensions seemed to have been brewing for several songs before escalating to fistfights.
