On September 13, Jane's Addiction performed at the Leader Bank Pavilion in Boston, Massachusetts. Video footage circulating online shows that frontman Perry Farrell assaulted guitarist Dave Navarro during their performance of "Ocean Size", abruptly ending the show.
Reports from fans in attendance and several news agencies say that Farrell seemed drunk or high during the show. Video shows Farrell turning on Navarro during "Ocean Size" for no apparent reason. They were separated by the band's roadies, with Navarro being genuinely confused by the exchange, and Farrell was forcibly pulled off stage, ending the show.
Watch the video below. The band has yet to comment on the incident.
The band has (reportedly) issued an apology via Instagram, but it no longer appears on the page or via other social media platforms at the time of this writing. Below is a screenshot published by Variety.
