Jane's Addiction is put on an indefinite hiatus as Perry Farrell sheds tears during a tearful apology for his behavior in the recent concert. The concert came to an unexpected stop due to a disturbing incident in Boston, where fans saw Perry Farrell's actions as too out of hand.
The tensions came to a head Friday night when Farrell appears to try to physically fight guitarist Dave Navarro. The controversy surrounding a confrontation between Farrell and Navarro has seen the band cancel its current U.S. tour. His behavior has been described by his fellow band members as part of a disturbing trend of behavior which they believe is associated with his personal problems.
The group, with Navarro, Stephen Perkins on drums, and Eric Avery on bass, then chose to preterminate the tour based on their concerns of Farrell's sanity and what his actions had led to in the form of toxic elements within the band. According to the group, they had no choice but to cancel the remainder of the tour.Farrell has expressed regret over the latest scandal. He recently admitted to the gravity of his actions in a statement: "This weekend has been intensely difficult and having the time and space to reflect on what's happened, it only feels right that I apologize to my bandmates, especially Dave Navarro, fans, family and friends for my actions during Friday's show.". Unfortunately, my snapping point led to inexcusable behaviour, for which I am fully responsible and how I handled the situation, Farrell wrote.
Official statement from the band, posted on September 16 confirms that the rest of the tour has been cancelled. The message to fans reads: "To all the fans, the band have made the difficult decision to take some time away as a group.". So they will cancel the rest of their tour. Refunds for the cancelled dates will be issued at your point of purchase-or if you purchased from a third-party resale site such as StubHub, SeatGeek, etc, please contact them directly. Thanks, Jane's Addiction.
This incident not only affects the touring schedule of the band, but also sets off a larger conversation regarding the pressures and personal challenges artists face in the limelight. In this event, Jane's Addiction is given an opportunity to try to address some of these issues; and fans, as well as business observers, will be keeping a close eye on what happens next and how the situation continues to evolve and what the next steps for this band will be.
