Jane's Addiction Members Sue Perry Farrell Over Onstage Altercation and Alleged Assault

Jane's Addiction members Dave Navarro, Eric Avery, and Stephen Perkins are suing frontman Perry Farrell for assault and battery. This legal action follows an alleged onstage altercation during a September performance in Boston.

The lawsuit details that Farrell allegedly became upset during a concert, physically attacking Navarro, including a punch backstage, before being restrained. Video footage reportedly captured parts of the incident.

Navarro's legal team emphasizes the assault's severe impact, noting it was particularly painful due to his weakened state from long Covid-19 effects, compounding the alleged physical harm.

The band members' lawsuit cites a pattern of alleged problematic behavior and mental health issues from Farrell, which they claim disrupted their tour and plans for recording a new album.

Following the incident, Perry Farrell reportedly apologized for his behavior towards Dave Navarro and other band members, acknowledging the clash that occurred during the show and its consequences.
