Jane’s Addiction bandmates sue each other over onstage fight that ended tour​

07/19/25

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The members of alternative rock band Jane’s Addiction filed dueling lawsuits Wednesday over singer Perry Farrell’s onstage scuffle with guitarist Dave Navarro at a Boston concert last year, prompting the cancellation of the rest of their reunion tour and a planned album.
Navarro, drummer Stephen Perkins and bassist Eric Avery sued Farrell in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging that Farrell’s behavior on the tour had ranged from erratic to out-of-control, culminating in the assault, where Farrell punched Navarro both on stage and backstage. The suit says the three bandmates are seeking at least $10 million.
“With a series of swift blows, he single-handedly destroyed the name, reputation, trademark, and viability of the Band and those who built it,” their lawsuit says.
Farrell and his wife, Etty Lau Farrell, sued the three bandmates in the same court later Wednesday, blaming them for the conflict and the violence.


“Navarro, Avery and Perkins apparently decided,” the lawsuit says, “that Jane’s Addiction’s decades of success should be jettisoned in pursuit of a yearslong bullying campaign against Farrell involving harassing him onstage during performances, including, among other tactics, trying to undermine him by playing their instruments at a high volume so that he could not hear himself sing.”

The Farrells said that Navarro and Avery actually assaulted them.







Perry Farrell said he was “blindsided” when the other members canceled the remaining 15 shows of the tour and broke up the band without consulting him, costing all of them a great deal of money.

And he said his bandmates defamed him by publicly saying, after the fight, that he had mental health problems.

Jane’s Addiction was an essential part of the Los Angeles music scene in the late 1980s with their combination of elements of punk, goth and psychedelic sounds and culture. They became a national phenomenon with hits including “Jane Says” and “Been Caught Stealing,” and through their founding of the Lollapalooza tour, whose first incarnation they headlined in 1991.

I was never into that band.
It's pretty weird how common it seems for rock bands to have this turmoil and drama.

Jane's Addiction, Fleetwood Mac, Guns n Roses...I mean there are too many to name.

I feel like that doesn't happen nearly as much in other genres of music.
