Jane’s Addiction’s Friday night show in Boston was cut short when singer Perry Farrell shoved and then punched guitar player Dave Navarro. The singer flew into a rage afterwards and had to be restrained and escorted off stage by several crew members.
You can see numerous videos of the altercation below.
According to JamBase’s social media reports, unspecified trouble between Navarro and Farrell started during the ninth song of the night, “Mountain Song,” continued through the Ritual de lo Habitual epic “Three Days” and boiled over at the end of “Ocean Size.”
In the midst of the song, Farrell can be seen shouting at Navarro, then aggressively bumping the guitarist while he played. That led to Navarro to use his forearm to hold off Farrell as they argued and Farrell then breaking free of the hold and punching Navarro before crew members stepped in.
After Farrell was taken off stage by several crew members, the band came to the front of the stage to thank fans. Drummer Stephen Perkins notably hugged Navarro, checking in on the guitarist.
