Guitarist Dave Navarro, bassist Eric Avery, and drummer Stephen Perkins sued former bandmate Perry Farrell, citing allegations of assault and emotional distress linked to a Boston show that ended in an onstage altercation. Farrell counter-sued, claiming bullying by the trio involving harassment on stage. He described a specific incident on September 13, 2024, where Navarro's high volume was unsafe and dangerous to him, prompting Farrell to physically intervene. This escalation allegedly resulted in violent reactions from Navarro and Avery, leading to further disputes regarding their conduct and contractual obligations.
Farrell alleges that Navarro, Avery, and Perkins engaged in a years-long bullying campaign involving harassing him onstage during performances. They attempted to undermine him by playing their instruments at high volume.
Farrell claims he reached his breaking point during the Boston show when Navarro refused to lower his volume despite Farrell's repeated requests, leading to an onstage confrontation.
