Navarro also posted a statement on his Instagram addressing the cancellation.

"Our singer Perry Farrell's mental health difficulties and persistent behavior have led us to conclude that we must discontinue the current US tour," he wrote.

We have no choice but to prioritize his personal health and safety, as well as our own. We hope he will receive the assistance he requires.

Navarro ended his remarks, stating, "We deeply regret that we cannot fulfill our obligations to all fans who have purchased tickets. We cannot find a solution that would guarantee a safe environment on stage or enable us to consistently deliver a top-notch performance each night."

"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." — Dave Navarro

With the names of Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins, he signed the message, "Our hearts are broken."

According to a source, Perry is devastated by his actions and recognizes that he should have prioritized his own well-being earlier. His prolonged exhaustion has negatively impacted both his physical and mental health.

Heading out on tour with the band, he had the best of intentions but feels like he's let his fans and family down.

On stage in Boston during their show last Friday, Farrell was seen punching Navarro in a video captured by a fan.

Navarro, 57, was stopped from advancing by Farrell, 65, who lunged his body towards him in a powerful manner and placed his hands on the guitarist's chest.

Navarro was punched by Farrell during the tense encounter, causing him to yell.

Farrell was enraged and attempted to attack the guitarist again, but security guards quickly broke up the fight and held him down to prevent further attacks.

The venue went dark during the incident and the show abruptly ended.

Farrell apologized to his bandmates, fans, family, and friends for his actions during Friday's show, stating that the weekend has been incredibly difficult and he has reflected on his behavior. He took full accountability for his actions and regretted his inexcusable behavior.

Etty Lau, Farrell's wife, shared details of the altercation on her social media the following morning.

The band's magic had been hindered by tension and animosity among its members. However, the tension boiled over and the band's dynamism was lost when Perry confronted Dave and body checked him.

According to Lau, the source of the conflict was Perry's patience running out, as his health was not in optimal condition prior to the band's performance. He had been dealing with tinnitus and a sore throat every night. However, when the audience in the front row began to complain and curse at him, stating that the band was playing too loudly and they couldn't hear him, Perry snapped.

Eric Avery, the founding bass guitarist and co-songwriter of Jane's Addiction, won the fight after putting Farrell in a headlock and punching him three times.

"For the next half an hour, Perry was a frenzied beast who couldn't calm down. He eventually broke down and wept uncontrollably."

In Bridgeport, Connecticut, Jane's Addiction canceled their show following the Friday incident.

"The band issued an apology on Instagram for the events that occurred last night and announced the cancellation of tomorrow night's show in Bridgeport."

They had planned to perform in Toronto on Wednesday before the entire tour was canceled.
