Perry Farrell apologized for his behavior after he punched Dave Navarro onstage, prompting Jane's Addiction to cancel their reunion tour.
“This weekend has been incredibly difficult and after having the time and space to reflect, it is only right that I apologize to my bandmates, especially“Unfortunately, my breaking point resulted in inexcusable behavior, and I take full accountability for how I chose to handle the situation,” he added.
Farrell’s statement came a couple of hours after Jane’s Addiction announced the cancellation of the rest of the tour. The band’s official note was accompanied by a separate statement from Navarro, drummer Stephen Perkins, and bassist Eric Avery, who said the tour was canceled due to a “continuing pattern of behavior and the mental health difficulties of our singer Perry Farrell.”
The three continued: “Our concern for his personal health and safety as well as our own has left us no alternative. We hope that he will find the help he needs… We can see no solution that would either ensure a safe environment on stage or reliably allow us to deliver a great performance on a nightly basis.
Then, during “Ocean Size,” Farrell grew agitated, walked up to Navarro, and rammed his shoulder into the guitarist’s back. Farrell continued to yell at Navarro and ultimately punched the guitarist on his shoulder. Farrell was held back by several crew members as he tried to lunge at Navarro again. Eventually, he was taken off stage and Navarro followed. The show ended early after about 11 songs.
