Overview
- Dave Navarro, Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins filed suit in Los Angeles County Superior Court on July 16 seeking at least $10 million for alleged assault, battery, emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract.
- The complaint details Farrell’s unprovoked shove and punch to Navarro during a September 13, 2024 concert at Boston’s Leader Bank Pavilion and describes crew members intervening to end the show.
- Plaintiffs allege that the tour’s cancellation and halted album plans cost the band more than $10 million in lost income and left them on the hook for advances to their label and unpaid crew commissions.
- Navarro terminated his $25,000-per-month long COVID disability payments and postponed his Scotland wedding, resulting in significant personal financial losses to participate in the tour.
- On the same day, Farrell filed a separate 30-page complaint accusing his former bandmates of bullying, wrongful tour cancellation and making defamatory public statements.
