Members of Jane's Addiction are suing lead singer Perry Farrell for $10 million after an on-stage incident last fall that they claim derailed their tour and album. Guitarist Navarro also filed for assault and battery after a violent altercation in Boston where Farrell punched and shoved him multiple times, allegedly knowing Navarro was suffering from long Covid-19 effects.
The band members allege that Farrell's unprovoked attack caused emotional and physical pain significantly because Navarro was weak from long Covid-19. This incident led to the cancellation of their reunion tour, marking Avery's return since 2010 and Navarro's after his illness.
