During a Jane's Addiction concert on Friday night, frontman Perry Farrell physically assaulted guitarist Dave Navarro. The incident, caught on camera by audience members, saw Farrell shove and then punch Navarro, prompting the show to be abruptly ended.
In the scene from Back to the Future where Michael J Fox plays Johnny B Goode on stage and gets so caught up in the music that he knocks over his own amp, the room descends into a shocked and disapproving silence.gig on Friday night when Perry Farrell – AKA the “godfather of alternative music” – shoved his guitarist Dave Navarro with his fist during a song and then, clearly enraged, squared up to him and threw another punch, sending Navarro backwards.
Farrell’s wife, Etty Lau, posted on Instagram that the frontman was upset by being “drowned out” by his bandmates playing too loudly and he was unwell. Lau added there had been “tension and animosity between the band members” but felt this atmosphere was also “the magic that made the band so dynamic”.
Farrell, 65, began his career in the American post-punk band Psi Com in the 1980s, before becoming the lead singer of Jane’s Addiction.The band, which created its unique blend of psychedelic rock, punk and heavy metal music, had an acrimonious breakup in 1991. For years, Eric Avery, a founding member, repeatedly refused to take part in reunion tours but rejoined the band after a 12-year hiatus in 2022.
