The highly anticipated Jane’s Addiction concert in Boston took an unexpected turn when singer Perry Farrell physically attacked guitarist Dave Navarro on stage during their performance of “Ocean Size.” Video footage captured Farrell aggressively confronting Navarro before ultimately throwing a punch at him, leading to a chaotic and abrupt end to the show.

Reports suggest that tensions had been simmering between the band mates since the start of the reunion tour, with Farrell’s lengthy interactions with the crowd causing frustration for Navarro. The situation escalated in Boston, culminating in the onstage altercation that left both band members visibly distressed.

While Jane’s Addiction has remained silent on the incident, Farrell’s wife, Etty, provided insight into the events, citing Farrell’s struggles with tinnitus and vocal issues due to the loud stage volume. She also mentioned a backstage confrontation between Farrell and bassist Eric Avery, further illustrating the intense emotions at play.

In response to the incident, Liam Gallagher weighed in, highlighting the complexities of band dynamics and intra-group conflicts. Despite the controversy, the Jane’s Addiction tour is set to continue, with upcoming shows scheduled in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and Los Angeles.

The reunion tour, featuring the original “Core Four” lineup of Farrell, Navarro, Avery, and drummer Stephen Perkins, marks a significant milestone for fans after a 14-year hiatus.
