Jane’s Addiction cancels tour, including concert next week in Chicago

Jane’s Addiction cancels Connecticut show after on-stage fight 00:41

Jane’s Addiction has canceled the remaining dates on its current tour, including a date this month in Chicago after lead singer Perry Farrell and guitarist Dave Navarro got into a fight during a show in Boston on Friday.

The band was scheduled to play at the Aragon Ballroom next Tuesday (Sept. 24). Concert promoter Live Nation said it will issue refunds in the next 14 to 21 days. If the tickets were transferred, the refund would go to the original Ticketmaster purchaser.

The band said fans who bought tickets from third-party resale sites should reach out to them for a refund.

“The band has made the difficult decision to take some time away as a group,” according to a statement posted on Instagram.

Navarro, the band’s drummer, drummer Stephen Perkins, and bassist Eric Avery said Farrell has been having mental health trouble.

“Due to a continuing pattern of behavior and the mental health difficulties of our singer Perry Farrell, we have come to the conclusion that we have no choice but to discontinue the current US tour,” the trio wrote on Instagram.
