Jane’s Addiction Members Sue and Countersue After Fight

Jane’s Addiction members Dave Navarro, Eric Avery, and Stephen Perkins sued frontman Perry Farrell for over $10 million following a violent onstage altercation during a September 2024 Boston concert, which led to the band's reunion tour cancellation and the collapse of a planned album deal. Video and eyewitness accounts allege Farrell shoved and punched Navarro, with further backstage incidents reported. In response, Farrell filed a countersuit against his bandmates, alleging he was the target of a years-long bullying campaign and claiming they instigated the fight and unfairly blamed him for the band's breakup. Both lawsuits detail conflicting versions of events and ongoing internal tensions, with each side blaming the other for the group's demise. The legal battle has resulted in the abrupt end of one of alternative rock's most influential bands. Neither party has settled or withdrawn their respective complaints as of now.
