At a recent Jane’s Addiction concert in Boston, fans were stunned when frontman Perry Farrell punched guitarist Dave Navarro during a live performance. The incident occurred while the band played their song “Mountain Song,” with tensions between Farrell and Navarro reportedly building throughout the show. As the band performed “Ocean Size,” Farrell shoulder-barged Navarro before taking a swing at him on stage.
The fight caused an immediate disruption, with crew members rushing to separate the two. Despite the chaos, Navarro attempted to continue playing his guitar solo before the show was abruptly cut short after only nine songs. Fans quickly shared footage and reactions on social media, with many expressing concerns about the future of the band’s reunion tour, which had only recently begun.

Jane’s Addiction reunited earlier this year with Navarro rejoining the lineup after a 14-year break. However, after this shocking altercation, many fans now believe this could spell the end for the band’s long-awaited tour. Social media buzzed with comments, with some speculating that this might have been the last Jane’s Addiction concert.
Despite the incident, Navarro, bassist Eric Avery, and drummer Stephen Perkins returned to the stage afterward, making peace signs and signaling unity to the audience. However, it remains unclear whether the band will continue with their scheduled performances across the U.S.
