Jane's Addiction fans were left disappointed when the band ended a show early after frontman Perry Farrell took a swing at guitarist Dave Navarro and had to be restrained.
The band were performing their song Ocean Size at the Leader Bank Pavilion in Boston, Massachusetts, last night (Friday, September 13) when the incident occurred.
In fan-filmed footage available below, Farrell appears to be struggling with his vocal duties as he turns towards Navarro, barges him with his shoulder and says "fuck you". The shocked guitarist puts his hand on the singer's chest to make some distance before Farrell takes a swing at him.
Bassist Eric Avery and a member of the road crew rush over to restrain Farrell and the band all leave the stage.
Navarro, Avery and drummer Stephen Perkins – who was celebrating his 57th birthday – all return to the stage without Farrell to say goodnight to the audience. Navarro appears to be uninjured.
Farrell had reportedly struggled with his performance during the band's show at the Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York this week, before seemingly doing better for another gig at the same venue the following night.
They are scheduled to perform next at the Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on Sunday, September 15. The tour runs through October.
This current touring cycle was branded "the next chapter of Jane's Addiction" when the band launched a new single Imminent Redemption back in July.
