Jane's Addiction band members get into fight at Boston show, end concert early

BOSTON - Members of the alternative band Jane's Addiction were seen fighting onstage at their show in Boston Friday night.

Fight caught on video

It happened at the band's show at Leader Bank Pavilion. Video shows lead singer Perry Farrell and guitarist Dave Navarro yelling and confronting each other in the middle of a song, shoving each other before Farrell throws a punch at Navarro. Another man then jumps between them, breaking up the fight. The concert ended early after that.

Video of the incident quickly spread around social media, with some fans speculating if the band will break up.

Wife blames frustration

"Perry's frustration had been mounting, night after night, he felt that the stage volume had been extremely loud and his voice was being drowned out by the band," Farrell's wife, Etty Lau Farrell, wrote in an Instagram post Saturday morning. 

She said her husband had been suffering from tinnitus and a sore throat and "by the end of the song, he wasn't singing, he was screaming just to be heard." She said her husband later broke down "and cried and cried." 

Jane's Addiction, known for songs like "Jane Says" and "Been Caught Stealing," is on its first tour in 15 years. Their next show is set for Sept. 15 at the Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater in Bridgeport, Connecticut. 

WBZ-TV reached out to concert promoter Live Nation for comment bud did not hear back. The band has also not addressed the incident on social media.
