Janes Addiction has canceled the remainder of their tour after singer Perry Ferrell threw a punch at guitarist Dave Navarro during a concert over the weekend.

The alt-rock legends, known for the songs Jane Says and Been Caught Stealing, announced they were pressing pause on their reunion in a statement on social media Monday morning.

Addressing all the fans, the note said, The band have made the difficult decision to take some time away as a group.

As such, they will be cancelling the remainder of the tour, it went on.

Fans were told refunds for their tickets would be on the way before the band signed off with a thank you.

After the announcement, Navarro and fellow band members Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins voiced serious concerns for Ferrells personal health and safety in a joint statement on social media .

It read, Due to a continuing pattern of behavior and the mental health difficulties of our singer Perry Farrell, we have come to the conclusion that we have no choice but to discontinue the current US tour.

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.

We deeply regret that we are not able to come through for all our fans who have already bought tickets. We 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 ended.
