Jane’s Addiction have canceled the remaining scheduled dates for their 2024 North American tour with Love & Rockets. This is due to the on-stage fight that took place on September 13 in Boston, MA. The band posted the following statement on their Instagram account:
Dave, Eric and Steve posted the following joint statement to their Instagram accounts:
Perry released the following statement on his own Instagram account:
The Jane’s Addiction show last night in Boston, MA ended abruptly at the end of Ocean Size, after Perry Farrell appeared to instigate a fight with Dave Navarro, with guitar tech Dan Cleary quickly jumping in between the two and then Eric Avery. Steve Perkins, also made his way out behind his kit to see what was going on. Coincidentally, September 13 was Steve’s 57th birthday.
Spin and NME both have articles on the scuffle, including different audience shot video clips. Additional clips can be found on YouTube and social media.
Update 11a EDT: Rolling Stone has an article, and NME has a second article about the situation.
Jane’s Addiction, back with the classic lineup we all know and love (that’s right, Dave’s back) debuted a new song, titled “Imminent Redemption”, last night at London’s Bush Hall. Check it out here:
Jane’s Addiction have released a statement on whom will be performing guitar on the upcoming tour dates later this year. Unfortunately Dave Navarro will not be talking part of the currently announced tour dates. Former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, whom played with the guys on some of the dates of the Spirits on Fire tour in 2022, will be stepping in to play with the band.
The statement the band release is as follows:
We’d like to address the questions surrounding Dave and the upcoming
Jane’s shows. As a band we are in a great place, writing new music, and the bond is tighter than ever. We all hope Dave can be out playing with us; when he feels healthy and ready.
For the near future, our brother Josh Klinghoffer will jump in for the upcoming shows on the West Coast, South America and some additional international shows to be announced soon. We want to thank you for being there with us over these thirty some odd odd years. You know, we’re going to keep throwing down for you.
Perry, Eric & Stephen
According to Rolling Stone, Dave Navarro will not (at least initially) be part of this fall’s Jane’s Addiction tour with Smashing Pumpkins due to his ongoing battle with Long-COVID. He’ll be replaced by Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen. This will be Jane’s first shows without Dave since he joined the band 37 years ago. The RS article is a good read, I recommend checking it out. It also confirms that Eric Avery will be part of the tour, which will be his first shows with the band since 2010.
Dave’s good friend Todd Newman has done a documentary about Dave and the murder of his mother. There is a very powerful trailer online for it now at: http://mourningsonthefilm.com/
No word yet on when the complete film will be out, or how it will be available. I’ll post when I know more.
Jane’s Addiction will be playing two shows in England this summer. This will be the band’s first performance in the United Kingdom since 2011. Dave Navarro posted about these two shows via his Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Jane’s Addiction canceled their appearance at the “Not So Silent Night” in Oakland at the last minute due to Steve Perkins’ father’s illness. Green Day stepped up to replace them. This obviously put tonight’s show in Universal City into question. However according to this post on twitter by Dave Navarro, the band is still planning on performing:
Jane’s show at KROQs Acoustic Christmas tomorrow is on!
After Jane’s Addiction was forced to cancel this past weekend’s performances at the Reading and Leeds festivals due to Perry Farrell losing his voice, tonight’s show in London was put into question. Well, Dave Navarro posted this to twitter minutes ago:
I know its a little late, but the show is on tonigt!
