Following a recent on-stage altercation between Jane’s Addiction band members Perry Farrell and Dave Navarro, the rock band has announced the cancellation of their remaining tour dates.
On Monday, the band announced in a statement posted to their Instagram page that they’ve “made the difficult decision to take some time away as a group,” therefore cancelling the remaining dates of their tour.

Soon after on Monday, Navarro, along with Jane’s Addiction band mates Stephen Perkins and Eric Avery, posted a joint statement to their respective Instagram accounts in which they said the cancellation of the tour is a result of a “continuing pattern of behaviour and the mental health difficulties of our singer Perry Farrell.”
“Our concern for his personal health and safety as well as our own has left us no alternative. We hope that he will find the help he needs,” the statement read.

Navarro, Perkins and Avery’s statement expressed “regret” for the cancellation but added that they “can see no solution that would either ensure a safe environment on stage or reliably allow us to deliver a great performance on a nightly basis”.
“Our hearts are broken,” the statement concluded.

Later on Monday, Farrell wrote in a statement posted to his Instagram story that “this weekend has been incredibly difficult and after having the time and space to reflect, it is only right that I apologise to my bandmates, especially Dave Navarro, fans, family and friends for my actions during Friday’s show.”
His statement continued, “Unfortunately, my breaking point resulted in inexcusable behaviour, and I take full accountability for how I chose to handle the situation.”

On Friday, Farrell and Navarro were seen engaging in a confrontation on stage during their concert in Boston, video footage showed.
Farrell appeared to yell at Navarro, then approach him and hit him before other band members and crew intervened.
Jane’s Addiction were set to resume their tour in Toronto on Wednesday after they previously cancelled Sunday’s concert in Connecticut due to the scuffle.
The tour was scheduled to conclude in Los Angeles in October.
Refunds for the canceled dates will be issued at the ticket holder’s point of purchase and ticket holders who purchased tickets through third-party resale sites are urged to reach out to them directly.
