Jane’s Addiction Officially Breaks Up as Perry Farrell Apologizes for 2024 Onstage Fight: ‘We Have Come Together One Last Time to Resolve Our Differences’
More than a year after Perry Farrell threw a punch at guitarist Dave Navarro during a Boston show, Jane’s Addiction has officially broken up as both Farrell and the three other group members issued separate statements.
The explosive altercation, which took place in September 2024, gave way to dueling lawsuits between Farrell and former bandmates Navarro, Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins. Now, the sparring parties apologized for the melee and confirmed that Jane’s Addiction has come to an end.
“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,” wrote Jane’s Addiction on their Instagram account. “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.”
Farrell also posted a joint apology on Instagram with Jane’s Addiction. “I’d like to address what happened on stage last year,” he wrote. “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,” he continued. “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.”

Not surprising but sad. Thanks for the memories.
A song or two later he was down in the crowd smoking a joint. (Wilmington NC).
