Jane's Addiction frontman throws punch at guitarist, ending show

Rock fans were pretty excited when Jane’s Addiction announced back in July that its entire original lineup had reunited and was performing together for the first time in 15 years.

Then the group produced its first new song in 34 years.

And now … well, now it looks like the reunion might be short-lived because things went off the rails during the group’s show in Boston on Friday. Video of the performance, which can be seen below, shows frontman Perry Farrell approaching guitarist Dave Navarro onstage during a song and engaging him in a physical confrontation.

Farrell walks over to Navarro and roughly throws a shoulder into him as he plays. He then stares down Navarro and takes several steps forward into his face and can be seen saying something. Navarro extends his hand to hold Farrell back, and Farrell appears to become more incensed. He then appears to throw a short punch at Navarro as a crew member scrambles on stage to hold him back. Navarro appears stunned by it all.

Several more members of the crew scramble onto the stage and restrain Farrell before taken him to the back. As that was occurring, Navarro took off his guitar and appeared to say something to fans in the front row.

Variety reported that the incident took place during “Ocean Size,” which was the 11th song of what the site says is usually a set that goes for 14 or 15 songs. It said some fans said that “tension looked to have been brewing for several songs.”

Jane’s Addiction has yet to address the incident. The band is slated to play against on Sept. 15 in Bridgeport, Conn.
