12 dates were cancelled after the incident involving Perry Farrell and Dave Navarro last Friday.
Jane’s Addiction have announced the cancellation of their entire current tour, following an onstage fight between frontman Perry Farrell and guitarist Dave Navarro at a Boston show last Friday.
In a statement posted to Navarro’s Instagram, the guitarist and bandmates Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins said that “due to a continuing pattern of behaviour 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.
“Our concern for his personal health and safety as well as our own has left us no alternative. We hope that he will find the help he needs.

"We deeply regret that we are not able to come through for all our fans who have already bought tickets,” they concluded. “We can see no solution that would either ensure a safe environment on stage or reliably allow us to deliver a great performance on a nightly basis.'
Footage captured on Friday evening showed Farrell shoving and punching Navarro, before he was dragged by crew members, ending the show abruptly.
This marked the band’s first tour reuniting its core four members in fourteen years.
