Overview

  • Dave Navarro, Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins allege assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract in their lawsuit filed Wednesday.
  • The complaint recounts a September 13, 2024 onstage brawl at Boston’s Leader Bank Pavilion, claiming Farrell shoved Navarro during “Ocean Size” and later punched him backstage.
  • The band members say the altercation forced the cancellation of the remaining 15 North American tour dates and halted production of the first classic-lineup album since 1990’s Ritual de lo Habitual.
  • They are seeking at least $10 million in damages and reimbursement for outstanding tour expenses, including ticket refunds and unpaid management commissions.
  • The filing cements the end of Jane’s Addiction’s 2024 reunion and follows Navarro’s May statement that the classic lineup will never perform together again.
