Bill Maher recently took a shot at Jane’s Addiction. Last Friday on HBO’s Real Time, he did a bit about Jane’s Addiction’s fight. Bill said you don’t cancel a tour because you got in a fight, and named a bunch of bands that hate each other. He then showed the reunited Oasis and said “the only reason people are going to see these guys IS to see a fight on stage.” A fight between Liam and Noel Gallagher broke up Oasis in 2009, while a fight appears to have now ended Jane’s Addiction.
Jane’s Addiction fight
There was a shocking altercation between Farrell and guitarist Dave Navarro during a recent concert. The incident saw Farrell appearing to purposely tackle Navarro on stage, leading to a heated confrontation that left both the audience and band members shocked. Footage captured by fans shows that Farrell, in the middle of his meltdown, attempted to use his microphone as a weapon against his bandmates.
The tension between Farrell and Navarro further escalated after Farrell got in Navarro’s face and began hurling insults at him. A confused Navarro could be seen asking what was going on, but before anyone could intervene, Farrell lunged at him. The situation escalated as Farrell started throwing punches, though it’s unclear if any landed on Navarro.
Perry Farrell has also apologized to Dave Navarro after their battle onstage. Farrell told his Jane’s Addiction bandmates he is sorry in a new Instagram post, writing:
“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. Unfortunately, my breaking point resulted in unexcusable behavior, and I take full responsibility for how I chose to handle the situation.”
The band wrote in its Instagram story.“We want to extend a heartfelt apology for the events that unfolded last night.”
“As a result we will be cancelling tomorrow night’s show in Bridgeport,” followed by refund details.
