Perry Farrell issued a statement and apology to his “bandmates, especially Dave Navarro, fans, family and friends” not long after he threw a punch at Navarro onstage at Jane’s Addiction‘s Boston show on September 13, 2024, and now he’s shared another apology. It’s posted both to his Instagram and the Jane’s Addiction account, and it reads:
To everyone in Boston, and around the world.
I’d like to address what happened on stage last year. I’ve reflected on it and I know I didn’t handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.
Jane’s Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades. The band, the songs, the patrons and the impact that we’ve had on music and culture mean more to me than any words I could ever possibly write down.
My aim has always been to give our audience the best possible show, something real, honest and positive. In Boston, we fell short of that, and I’m truly sorry to everyone who was impacted.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank each and every one of you for your continued love and support.
Perry Farrell
Since that infamous show, Jane’s Addiction cancelled the remainder of their tour, announced a hiatus, and earlier this year, Navarro, Eric Avery, and Stephen Perkins sued Farrell. Farrell also filed his own suit against his onetime bandmates, and he responded to the claims in their suit in a statement in September. And that about brings us up to the present. So… what’s next? We’ll see.
