Following an onstage altercation where frontman Perry Farrell punched guitarist Dave Navarro, rock band Jane's Addiction has issued a statement apologizing to fans and announcing the cancellation of their upcoming show. Viral video footage captured the incident, which occurred during their performance of 'Ocean Size' at the Lender Pavilion in Boston on Friday night.
Following an onstage outburst where Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell punched guitarist Dave Navarro , the rock band is speaking out and providing an update. 'We want to extend a heartfelt apology to our fans for the events that unfolded last night,' the band wrote in a statement shared on their Instagram story. 'As a result we will be canceling tomorrow night's show in Bridgeport.
Viral video shared on social media showed an agitated Farrell forcefully bumping into Navarro while performing their song, 'Ocean Size,' at the Lender Pavilion in Boston on Friday night. A seething Farrell screams at his bandmate while Navarro attempts to keep his frontman at bay, creating a barrier between them with his arm. Before crew members could separate the musicians, Farrell threw a punch at Navarro. He was restrained, although Farrell put up a fight before being led offstage.
The morning after the fight, Farrell's wife, Etty Lau, offered insight into what she believed happened. 'Clearly there had been a lot of tension and animosity between the members... the magic that made the band so dynamic. Well, the dynamite was lit. Perry got up in Dave’s face and body-checked him,' she wrote on Instagram.
Although the Jane's Addiction show in Connecticut this evening has been canceled, there is no word on the status of their Toronto show on Wednesday. A representative for the band did not immediately return Fox News Digital's request for comment.
