Jane's Addiction Lawsuits Dismissed After Settlement as Band Confirms Split

A court dismissal follows a private settlement that closes the case stemming from last year's onstage altercation.

Overview

  • The Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, dismissed the lawsuits on December 22 after the parties reached a settlement, according to court documents cited by People.
  • Dave Navarro, Eric Avery, and Stephen Perkins had sought roughly $10 million in damages tied to the canceled reunion tour, which had sold over 100,000 tickets.
  • Perry Farrell denied the allegations in a September legal response that sought dismissal, no damages for Navarro, and recovery of Farrell's legal costs.
  • On December 17, Farrell apologized for his role in the incident, and the band issued a statement regretting earlier inaccurate comments about Farrell's mental health while signaling they would pursue separate endeavors.
  • The dispute originated with a September 2024 onstage altercation in Boston that ended the performance and led to the tour's cancellation, and the settlement terms were not disclosed.
