Astrida Valigorsky/Getty Images Jane’s Addiction imploded in remarkably ugly fashion this past week after lead singer Perry Farrell got into an onstage with guitarist Dave Navarro in Boston after a series of extremely sloppy shows that left fans concerned for the vocalist’s health.
“Due to a continuing pattern of behavior and the mental health difficulties of our singer Perry Farrell, we have come to the conclusion that we have no choice but to discontinue the current US tour,” Dave Navarro, Eric Avery, and Stephen Perkins wrote in a . “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.
” “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 Dave Navarro, fans, family and friends for my actions during Friday’s show,” Farrell . “Unfortunately, my breaking point resulted in inexcusable behavior, and I take full accountability for how I chose to handle the situation.” Very few reunions in rock history have ended after onstage violence between two members, but it’s hardly the first time a high-profile reformation didn’t.
