Jane's Addiction Shares 'Heartfelt Apology,' Cancels Show Following Onstage Fight

Janes Addiction  announced that the rock band was canceling its next concert after singer Perry Farrell s onstage meltdown  during a show in Boston on Friday.

We want to extend a heartfelt apology to our fans for the events that unfolded last night, the alternative rockers wrote in an Instagram stories update on Saturday.

The iconic band added that the show in Bridgeport, Connecticut part of a reunion tour for the bands classic lineup of Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro , drummer Stephen Perkins and bassist Eric Avery wouldnt go on as a result and shared information for those seeking refunds.

The bands message comes after Farrell forcefully bumped into Navarro onstage and tried to get in his face before throwing a punch at the guitarist during the Boston stop on the tour.

The altercation brought the show to a chaotic end and led to questions over the future of the tour as well as the band.

Etty Lau Farrell, wife of Perry Farrell, used her Instagram  to address speculation over the fight where she explained there had been a lot of tension and animosity between the members.. the magic that made the band so dynamic.

Well, the dynamite was lit, wrote Etty Lau Farrell, who shares two sons with the singer.

She noted that her husbands frustration had been mounting on the tour and described the volume on stage as extremely loud as his voice was drowned out by the rest of the band. 

She also said the singer has suffered from tinnitus along with a sore throat every night.

But when the audience in the first row, started complaining up to Perry cussing at him that the band was planning too loud and that they couldnt hear him, Perry lost it, Etty Lau Farrell wrote.

She continued, The band started the song Ocean [Size] before Perry was ready and did the count off.. The stage volume was so loud at that point, that Perry couldnt hear pass the boom and the vibration of the instruments and by the end of the song, he wasnt singing, he was screaming just be to be heard.

Etty Lau Farrell who tagged her post with #amancanonlybepushedsofar and #davetookthehighroad added that Avery put the singer in a headlock amid the chaotic scene and punched him in the stomach three times whereas Navarro tried to de-escalate the situation.

She noted that a crew member pulled Avery away before he walked to the front of the stage to apologize to the crowd.

Perry was a crazed beast for the next half an hour - he finally did not calm down, but did breakdown and cried and cried, she wrote.

Eric, well he either didnt understand what descalation meant or took advantage of the situation and got in a few cheap shots on Perry.

Farrell had reportedly been in rough shape while performing in New York City days before the Boston gig and had informed the crowd there was something wrong with his voice.

Janes Addictions next concert is set to take place in Toronto, Canada, on Wednesday.
