Jane’s Addiction Cancels Remaining 2024 Tour Dates Following Onstage Altercation
Jane’s Addiction officially reunited after 14 years, but following an onstage altercation, the band has decided to “take some time away as a group.”
The group made headlines over the weekend after their show in Boston was plagued by an onstage fight between lead singer Perry Farrell and guitarist Dave Navarro. During the show on September 13, Farrell threw a punch at Navarro. Following the gig, the band took to social media to announce that they would cancel their show in Bridgeport, Connecticut “as a result” of the events that unfolded.
