  • Jane's Addiction members Dave Navarro, Eric Avery, and Stephen Perkins are suing frontman Perry Farrell for at least $10 million.
  • The lawsuit stems from an onstage brawl in Boston in 2024, which led to the cancellation of their tour and halted plans for a new album.
  • Guitarist Dave Navarro is also separately suing Farrell for assault and battery over the incident, where Farrell appeared to shove and swing at him.
  • Farrell's lawyers have dismissed the lawsuit as baseless and a transparent attempt to control the narrative, alleging the band previously made defamatory statements about his mental health.
  • The brawl, caught on camera, occurred during a performance of Ocean Size, with Farrell's wife later attributing his actions to frustration over stage volume and audience complaints.
