Etty Lau Farrell, wife of Jane’s Addiction member Perry Farrell recently revealed to Lion’s Share News that the band members are not on speaking terms after how their recent tour ended. However, she was hopeful that the band would reunite. She also revealed that Perry Farrell was doing great amid concerns regarding his mental health.
A shocking altercation between Farrell and guitarist Dave Navarro took place a couple of months back. The incident saw Farrell appearing to purposely tackle Navarro on stage which led to a heated confrontation that left both the audience and band members shocked. Footage captured by fans shows that Farrell, in the middle of his meltdown, attempted to use his microphone as a weapon against his bandmates.
The tension between Farrell and Navarro reportedly escalated after Farrell got in Navarro’s face and began hurling insults at him. A confused Navarro could be seen asking what was going on, but before anyone could intervene, Farrell lunged at him. The situation escalated as Farrell started throwing punches, though it’s unclear if any landed on Navarro.
Perry Farrell has also apologized to Dave Navarro after their battle onstage. He wrote on Instagram:
“This weekend has been incredibly difficult and after having the time and space to reflect, it is only right that I apologize to my bandmates, especially Dave Navarro, fans, family, and friends for my actions during Friday’s show. Unfortunately, my breaking point resulted in unexcusable behavior, and I take full responsibility for how I chose to handle the situation.”
