Perry Farrell Throws Punch at Dave Navarro During Chaotic Jane’s Addiction Concert, Forced Offstage
The incident occurred during the band's concert in Boston on Sept. 13
A Jane's Addiction concert ended in chaos after lead singer Perry Farrell threw a punch at guitarist Dave Navarro.
On Friday, Sept. 13, the band was performing at the Leader Bank Pavilion in Boston when an altercation between the two bandmates broke out during a performance of “Ocean Size" from the group's 1988 album Nothing's Shocking.
In a video of the incident posted on YouTube, Farrell, 65, seemed agitated as he repeated what appeared to be a chant at the audience, before turning toward Navarro, 57, who was playing guitar, and repeating it toward him.
Farrell then appeared to shout "f--- you!" as he shoulder-barged his collaborator, who put his arm against the lead singer's chest in what appeared to be an attempt to hold him back. Farrell then threw a punch at Navarro.

Multiple people next ran onstage to restrain Farrell, and Navarro was later seen removing his guitar and placing it on the ground as the lights in the venue dimmed, prompting the concert to come to an abrupt end.
Representatives for both Farrell and Navarro, as well as Live Nation, did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

Footage of the incident was also shared on X (formerly Twitter) by another concertgoer, who wrote in their caption, "Perry Farrell and Dave Navarro just got in a fight and the concert ended."
"I was there. The crowd was bemused. Half p----- the show ended early and half excited we may have seen the last Janes A show ever," one other fan wrote the social platform.
The shocking moment between Farrell and Navarro took place amid the band's current North American tour, which kicked off on Aug. 9 in Las Vegas and, for the first time since 2010, features their classic lineup of Farrell, Navarro, drummer Stephen Perkins and bassist Eric Avery.
Following the onstage scuffle, Avery, Perkins and Navarro returned to the stage to say goodbye to the crowd, making peace signs, waving and tapping their hearts, Variety reported.
