Perry Farrell and Dave Navarro came to blows at the Jane’s Addiction show in Boston on Friday. Perry Farrell purposely appeared to tackle Dave Navarro. Farrell then got in Navarro’s face and swore at him, as a confused Dave looked at him asking what was going on.

Farrell then lunged at Navarro, attacking him, but he was held back by a roadie and bassist Eric Avery. Farrell appeared to throw punches while being restrained, possibly hitting Avery, but Avery was restraining him with a bear hug along with Jane’s Addiction’s road crew. The road crew dragged Farrell off stage during his meltdown. It was drummer Stephen Perkins’ birthday. You can’t make this stuff up.

Jane’s Addiction’s original lineup are currently on their first tour together in 14 years. This is only the second time the band’s original lineup has reunited since 1991, outside of a brief 2009-2010 reunion that ended with Avery quitting.

Tubro wrote on AintNoRight.org, “My kid was there. Described pretty much what’s above. Said the band including Perry were real good at first, but Prry started slipping. The band remained the Jane’s machine. Perry was off key but it sort of worked as hard heavy Jane’s with atonality that went with the the trippy vibe. Then Perry got in a fight with Dave, Eric stormed off, crew separated Perry and Dave, Dave left, Perk and Perry sort of hugged and then lights came up. Ended at 1045. My kid couldn’t imagine they play any more shows.

Texts started 10 minutes in, ‘Perry seems to have it together’. 956 Perry’s sorta losing it. 1003 spaced out vocals but then Perry pulls it together for a line that the crowd sings along so it’s cool but then he’s off again and the band is the whole show.

Next text I got was 1043 ‘Eric stormed off stage Perry started beating on Dave.

I gave up my Bridgeport tix after the first night of the rooftop. Wonder if it even plays. Sometimes train wrecks are still great – certainly the LA scene of the 80s had JA and RHCP and Thelonious Monster were often too fucked up to play but it was part of the greatness. But i don’t want to see eric and dave as miserable as this must be for them. I’ll keep my 80s 90s memories.”
