Jane's Addiction Singer Perry Farrell Throws Punch At Dave Navarro In Onstage Meltdown

The rock band's recent Boston show came to an abrupt end following the heated altercation.

Janes Addiction  singer Perry Farrell wasnt having it with Dave Navarro as he threw a punch at the guitarist in an explosive, chaotic ending to the rockers Boston concert Friday.

The iconic bands classic lineup which includes Farrell, Navarro, drummer Stephen Perkins and bassist Eric Avery reunited onstage earlier this year and embarked on a tour marking their first consistent run of shows together in 14 years.

Footage  captured during this weeks concert at Bostons Leader Bank Pavilion showed Navarro playing a guitar solo during the song Ocean Size before Farrell approached him and forcefully bumped into him.

Navarro stopped playing and tried to use his hand to keep Farrell back as the front man got in his face. Farrell then wound his arm back and swung at Navarro, seemingly connecting with the guitarists arm.

Multiple men including apparent crew members and Avery rushed in to restrain Farrell before leading him offstage.

The rest of the band then went to the front of the stage to hug, throw up peace signs and thank the crowd before exiting.

Social media users who attended the show reported Farrell shouting and tensions building prior to the performance of Ocean Size.

The scuffle comes after Farrell was reportedly in rough shape at a Tuesday show in New York City, according to a concert review on the site JamBase , with the singer telling the The Rooftop at Pier 17 crowd that there was something wrong with his voice.

Ahead of a subsequent show in the Big Apple on Wednesday, Avery said  on Instagram that he was looking forward to getting another crack at the same venue.

Im optimistic we will be better, he wrote.

Farrell was in fine form at the Wednesday gig, the JamBase review noted.

Janes Addiction is scheduled to perform its next show Sunday in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
