It’s a Christmas miracle! Jane’s Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell and his bandmates Dave Navarro, Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins have “resolved their differences” after a 2024 onstage altercation ended the band. It’s not clear if Jane’s Addiction plans on continuing or if this is just them ending everything amicable – they did state in part that they “now look forward to the future as we embark on our separate musical and creative endeavors.”
Jane’s Addiction released the following statement via social media: “We would like to clarify the events surrounding the cancellation of the tour after the show in Boston in September 2024. After that show, without notice to Perry, we unilaterally determined it would be best to not continue the tour and made inaccurate statements about Perry‘s mental health which we regret.
“Today we are here to announce that we have come together one last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane’s Addiction will remain the work the four of us created together. We now look forward to the future as we embark on our separate musical and creative endeavors. Jane’s Addiction will forever live in our hearts. We are proud of the music we created together. You, the fans, are our lifeblood, and we will always appreciate you.”
Farrell added in a separate statement: “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 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.”
The drama started on September 14, 2024 when Farrell and Navarro got into a fight on stage. Jane’s Addiction ended things shortly thereafter, and everyone but Farrell joined forced in a new band. Then Dave Navarro, Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins filed a $10 million lawsuit against Farrell, to which he responded with his own lawsuit. So it got pretty messy, but I guess things are good now?
