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 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!
Stephen Perkins’ latest artistic venture Art Of Drums involves a collaboration with Los Angeles art team Scenefour who have come together with him to create 10 different pieces of art that are custom made, signed and numbered by the Jane’s Addiction drummer. For the first time, the exhilarating drum strokes and energy behind Perkins’ talent are captured and are now available for all to view and enjoy on a total of 100 canvases.

The following clip was posted at janesaddiction.com earlier today. The clip directed by Todd Newman, features live footage from the band’s recent trip to South America. In between the live footage are shots of the band working in the studio on the tentatively titled disc The Great Escape Artist. One thing that really caught my attention as I watched the clip was the history of the mixing desk the band appears to be using. I don’t want to give it away but you can watch the clip and see for yourself.
Here’s a peek at Jane’s Addiction in the studio hard at work on the recently released track End To The Lies.
A very Happy Birthday to Stephen Perkins who turns 43 today.
