Band cancelled their tour last year after their singer threw a punch at guitarist Dave Navarro onstage. Members of the alt-rock band Jane’s Addiction have revealed that they are working on new music without frontman Perry Farrell. The group made headlines last September when a gig at Boston’s Leader Bank Pavilion descended into chaos after Farrell threw a punch at guitarist Dave Navarro.

Video footage of the incident showed Navarro attempting to push Farrell away before the singer was dragged offstage by crew members. Jane’s Addiction swiftly cancelled the remainder of their tour with a statement signed by Navarro, bassist Eric Avery and drummer Stephen Perkins, which highlighted their concerns about Farrell’s mental health difficulties.
Farrell shared a separate statement apologising for his actions, saying he had reached a “breaking point” that “resulted in inexcusable behaviour”. “I take full accountability for how I chose to handle the situation,” he said. On Friday (3 January), Avery shared a video of himself to Instagram as he recorded bass lines to a drum track, which he said had been recorded by Perkins.
“Look forward to getting some Mr Navarro on them. 2025!” he added, tagging both Perkins and Navarro in the post. The trio have not confirmed whether they are planning to release their new music as Jane’s Addiction, without Farrell, or whether it is for a new musical project.
