Jane's Addiction Singer Perry Farrell Hurls Punch At Dave Navarro In Onstage Meltdown
HuffPost
The rock band's Boston show came to an early end following the heated altercation.
Jane’s Addiction singer Perry Farrell wasn’t having it with Dave Navarro as he threw a punch at the guitarist before crew members got in the way during an explosive, chaotic ending to the rockers’ Boston concert on Friday.
The iconic alternative rock band — which currently features its classic lineup of Farrell, Navarro, drummer Stephen Perkins and bassist Eric Avery — embarked on a reunion tour back in May in what marked the grouping’s first consistent run of shows together in 14 years.
Videos captured from the concert at Boston’s Leader Bank Pavilion show Navarro playing a guitar solo during the song “Ocean Size” — their 11th track in the set — before Farrell closed in on him and shoved him.
Navarro stopped playing and tried to use his hand to keep Farrell off of him as the frontman got in his face. Farrell then wound his arm back and threw a punch at Navarro, seemingly connecting with the guitarist’s arm.
Multiple crew members, as well as Avery, then rushed in to restrain Farrell before surrounding him and leading him offstage.
