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.”

“I saw Perry Farrell’s excuse. It’s bullsh*t and F*ck Perry,” Guns wrote in his X post. “Guitar frequencies are directional meaning they point forward only. They do not flood the stage. If it was to loud in his monitors or in ears that is his own fault or monitor engineer failure. He knows this.”
