Dave Navarro and Perry Farrell, two members of the rock band Jane’s Addiction, filed lawsuits against one another over onstage and backstage altercations between them last September.

On September 13, 2024, a Jane’s Addiction concert in Boston stopped suddenly after Perry punched Navarro in an onstage altercation. In video footage of the Boston show captured by fans, the band’s frontman had been in the middle of performing “Ocean Size” when he began grunting and yelling at the crowd, “F— you.” He came up to Navarro and shoved him.

Perry then backed up but then attempted to confront him again while Navarro, the band’s guitarist, calmly tried to create space between them with his arm.

In turn, the frontman punched Navarro’s chest, causing several crew members to separate the two of them. They took the attacker offstage while the lights on the stage were lowered.

The other band members,...

Perry Farrell has filed a lawsuit of his own against Jane’s Addiction members Dave Navarro, Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins over the 2024 onstage altercation that derailed the band’s tour, his complaint coming just hours after the three members sued him earlier Wednesday.

In the complaint, filed Wednesday in Los Angeles and obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, Farrell maintains that the rest of the band were the original aggressors in the September 2024 incident that culminated with him punching Navarro on stage. He claimed in the suit that the band took part in a “years-long bullying campaign” where they harassed him onstage and attempted to “undermine him by playing their instruments at a high volume so that he could not hear himself sing without blasting his own in-ear monitors at an unsafe level.”

Farrell claimed in the lawsuit that the band’s alleged harassment “escalated on September 13, 2024 to physical violence...

Seven months after Jane’s Addiction fell apart onstage in front of a live audience, lead singer Perry Farrell and the other band members have filed competing legal complaints against each other.

Guitarist Dave Navarro, bassist Eric Avery and drummer Stephen Perkins sued Farrell — who also founded Lollapalooza — for $10 million Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging the frontman’s “brutal and unprovoked” on-stage attack on Navarro last year caused the band to lose millions of dollars when they had to cancel tour dates and a planned new album.

The trio reunited with Farrell last year for the original lineup’s first tour together since 2010. Avery had long eschewed a reunion after battling drug addiction (and Farrell) and fearing life on the road might again lead to relapse. He didn’t have to worry. About two-thirds of the way through the band’s 50-city tour, Farrell ended the reunion when...

Just hours after Dave Navarro, Stephen Perkins, and Eric Avery sued singer Perry Farrell over an infamous onstage altercation and its ramifications on the band, the frontman has sued his ex-Jane’s Addiction bandmates, citing assault and battery, bullying and harassment, and breach of contract, among other allegations.

As Variety reports, Farrell’s legal action is not a countersuit, but rather a separate lawsuit filed by Farrell, his wife Etty Lau Farrell, and his touring company against Navarro, Perkins, and Avery. A summary statement from Farrell’s lawyer, as emailed to Consequence from his publicist, reads as follows:

“As a founding member and creative force behind Jane’s Addiction, Perry Farrell has always prioritized the band’s legacy and its supporters, which is why the events of September 13th, 2024 in Boston and the resulting fallout was so devastating. Without warning or consultation and using Perry as a scapegoat, Dave Navarro...

Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell has sued former bandmates Dave Navarro, Eric Avery, and Stephen Perkins, just hours after the trio filed a lawsuit against him over an onstage scuffle last year. During a show at Boston’s Leader Bank Pavilion on Sept. 13, 2024, Farrell shoved Navarro near the end of his guitar solo for “Ocean Size” before Avery and crew members had to physically separate them. The band didn’t finish the concert, and audience-shot footage flooded social media feeds within minutes.

In a 30-page complaint, obtained by Rolling Stone...

Jane’s Addiction members Dave Navarro, Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins filed a lawsuit against singer Perry Farrell Wednesday over Farrell’s infamous onstage altercation with Navarro that forced the cancellation of the band’s reunion tour.

Navarro, Avery and Perkins are seeking $10 million in damages, stating that’s how much they’d lost after the incident forced the cancellation. The band’s claims include intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract, while claims from Navarro specifically include allegations of assault and battery over the incident.

The suit, filed in Los Angeles Wednesday and reviewed by The Hollywood Reporter, comes almost exactly 10 months after Farrell had thrown a punch at Navarro during the middle of the band’s performance in Boston last September. The show abruptly ended, and the rest of their reunion tour was canceled as the group broke up.

“Plaintiffs Dave Navarro,...

Dave Navarro is suing his former Jane’s Addiction bandmate Perry Farrell for assault and battery following their on-stage altercation during a concert in September 2024. Additionally, Navarro, along with fellow Jane’s Addiction members Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins, are suing Perry for emotional distress, negligence, and breach of contract over the subsequent cancellation of the band’s tour following the incident. Navarro, Avery, and Perkins are seeking a minimum of $10 million in damages.

TMZ was the first to report news of the lawsuit.

Dave Navarro said in a new interview that there is “no chance” Jane’s Addiction will ever reunite again following a viral onstage confrontation that abruptly ended the band.

Speaking to Guitar Player, Navarro was asked what was the least favorite gig in his lengthy career. The guitarist easily pinpointed, “It would be a gig last September, on Friday the 13th, in Boston.”

On that night, in an incident that spread across social media, Jane’s Addiction’s “Core Four” reunion quickly came to an end after singer Perry Farrell...

While the future certainly didn’t look bright for Jane’s Addiction following an onstage fight between singer Perry Farrell and guitarist Dave Navarro this past September, Navarro has seemingly put the last nail in the coffin for the legendary alt-rock band in a new interview.

As previously reported, Farrell shoved and punched Navarro onstage toward the end of Jane’s Addiction’s September 13th show at Leader Bank Pavilion in Boston, ending the concert abruptly. The singer was pulled off the guitarist by Cleary and bassist Eric Avery, who then landed a couple of punches on Farrell. It was later reported that moments later, Farrell punched Navarro again backstage, this time in the face.

The band subsequently canceled the remainder of the tour, which was the first outing featuring all four classic members of the band — Farrell, Navarro, Avery, and drummer Stephen Perkins — in 14 years. Farrell apologized for the incident,...

The first-ever Lollapalooza tour took place in the summer of 1991, and while Nine Inch Nails weren’t the headliner, there’s a consensus among the band’s peers that the industrial band stole the show on the inaugural edition of the traveling festival.

In the new book Lollapalooza: The Uncensored Story of Alternative Rock’s Wildest Festival (available here), fellow musicians assert they were blown away by Trent Reznor and company’s live performances that summer.

That year’s lineup was headlined by Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell’s band Jane’s Addiction, and also featured Siouxsie and the Banshees, Living Colour, Ice-t & Body Count, Butthole Surfers, and Rollins Band.

Nin were still promoting their debut album, Pretty Hate Machine, at that point, and hadn’t yet experienced the mainstream breakthrough that would soon come with their 1992 EP Broken and 1994 album The Downward Spiral. As such,...

Green Day were the opening band on the second half of the 1994 Lollapalooza tour, but according to frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, if it was up to the traveling festival’s founder Perry Farrell, the punk trio would never have been booked for the historic summer run.

The revelation comes courtesy of the newly released book Lollapalooza: The Uncensored Story of Alternative Rock’s Wildest Festival (available here). The oral history features artists and other members of the music industry recounting the festival’s initial run from 1991 through 1997.

In the book, John Rubeli, who was a stage manager for Lollapalooza at the time, recalled, “I can’t think of a single time that Perry pushed back or vetoed a band — except for Green Day. … He was like, ‘They’re a boy band. I don’t want to book a boy band.'”

Armstrong was a little more blunt in his recollection,...

Before Lollapalooza became just another giant festival, it was a culture-shaking Nineties traveling carnival that helped define the thing we used to call “alternative.” Key moments in the careers of Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, Ice-t, Green Day, Rage Against the Machine, Courtney Love, and many more played out on its stages, as chronicled in the excellent new oral-history book Lollapalooza: The Uncensored Story of Alternative Rock’s Wildest Festival.

Cindyana Santangelo, an actress once known as the “Latin Marilyn Monroe,” has passed away at the age of 58. While the official cause of death is still pending, reports indicate that Santangelo had recently received cosmetic injections at her home.

RadarOnline.com reported that emergency responders were called to Santangelo’s residence in Malibu on Monday afternoon due to a medical emergency. She was transported to a nearby hospital but was tragically pronounced dead.

Cindyana Santangelo, “Latin Marilyn Monroe,” Dies at 58

According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, investigators have learned that Santangelo had undergone a cosmetic procedure involving injections at her home. However, authorities have emphasized that there is currently no evidence to suggest a direct link between this procedure and her death. At this time, there is also no indication of foul play.

Santangelo garnered the moniker “Latin Marilyn Monroe” from Perry Farrell, the frontman of Jane’s Addiction.

Producer Dave Jerden, whose work on seminal albums by Jane’s Addiction and Alice in Chains helped define the alternative-rock revolution of the late ’80s and early ’90s, has died at the age of 75.

The news of Jerden’s passing was shared by his son Bryan, who wrote on Facebook, “Our father David Jerden passed away peacefully in his sleep yesterday February 5th. It’s hard to express in words what he meant to me, my sister Michelle, and the rest of our family. He was larger than life and was deeply passionate about so many things, from history to science, but above all he was a music maker.”

He continued, “He worked with so many great artists and together they forged some very interesting and memorable musical pathways and of which I am very proud. We will miss his smile, his uncontrollable laughter, his mind-bending stories and great conversations.

It’s been 34 years since the very first Lollapalooza‘ now, the festival’s history and legacy will be explored in a new book titled Lollapalooza: The Uncensored Story of Alternative Rock’s Wildest Festival.

Due on March 25th through St. Martin’s Press, the book — written by authors Richard Bienstock and Tom Beaujour — will offer a “no-holds-barred history” of the famed festival, featuring hundreds of firsthand accounts from founders, organizers, crew, publicists, and many more.

Of course, the book will also feature recollections from the meat and potatoes of any good music festival: the artists themselves. Soundgarden’s Kim Thayil penned the forward, while Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell and members of Jane’s Addiction, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Nine Inch Nails, Sonic Youth, Tool, Smashing Pumpkins, Ice-t, Rage Against the Machine, Green Day, Patti Smith, Alice in Chains, and Metallica are among the many artists who sat down for interviews.

Primarily focusing...

Following an onstage fight that apparently broke up Jane’s Addiction, three of the four members are making new music together. Bassist Eric Avery, guitarist Dave Navarro, and drummer Stephen Perkins are recording new songs minus singer Perry Farrell.

Back in September, Jane’s Addiction made headlines when Farrell got into a physical altercation with Navarro during a show in Boston, at one point punching the guitarist onstage. As the two musicians were being separated, it appeared that Avery landed a few blows on Farrell. And a later report from a crew member revealed that Farrell punched Navarro again — this time in the face — backstage shortly thereafter.

The rest of the band’s tour was canceled, and while an official announcement was never made, Navarro suggested that the band had broken up in an Instagram post, saying, “I’m gutted that things ended this way.”

Now, Avery, Navarro, and Perkins...

Three months after a Jane’s Addiction reunion tour abruptly ended following an onstage fight, the band appears to be back in the studio together without singer Perry Farrell.

Eric Avery shared video from a recent recording session where he was adding bass to Stephen Perkins’ drumming. “Writing some more new lines to some of Stephens drumming. Look forward to getting some Mr [Dave] Navarro on them. 2025!,” Avery wrote in the caption; Perkins also shared Avery’s video on his Instagram (via Stereogum).

Francis Ford Coppola's most iconic film, The Godfather, was all held together by one big lie about the Corleone crime family. The Godfather is considered one of the best movies of all time, if not the very best, and for good reason. It's a masterpiece in nearly every way, from its fantastic story to the star-studded cast of The Godfather. It's difficult to imagine a way The Godfather could have been better, but it's much easier to imagine how it could have been worse. Interestingly, if The Godfather had been more truthful about one important part of its story, it would have ruined the film.

One of the most iconic parts of The Godfather is its bleak and grim portrayal of organized crime. The entire trilogy is filled with backstabbing, hits, shootouts, beatings, betrayals, and just about any other violent crime imaginable. While The Godfather is loved for its...

Donald Trump loves music. It does not love him back. But neither fact has ever been more obvious than this week, when he made his DJ debut. Even by his standards, it was a bizarre instant-classic trainwreck. At his Monday town hall event in Oaks, Pennsylvania, he quit taking questions from the crowd, and turned his campaign rally into a dance party. “Let’s not do any more questions,” Trump said. “Let’s just listen to music. Who the hell wants to hear questions?” Then he just stood there frozen in a 40-minute K-hole,...

Turns out self-doubt spares no one, not even the talented Diane Keaton! It’s hard to believe she couldn’t fathom landing a role in The Godfather after years of hard work. Throughout that time, she often found herself questioning why she was chosen, convinced she didn’t belong there at all.

There may not be another film with a more watchable and intriguing cast of characters than Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather. Every single member of the Corleone family is fascinating, from Vito (Marlon Brando) to Connie (Talia Shire), as well as the supporting characters who bring their own purpose and color to the gangster world. The antagonists of The Godfather have typically been the characters most often ignored, as it's understandable we are more intrigued by our protagonist's villainy. However, whilst most will name Barzini (Richard Conte) as the main villain of The Godfather, Virgil Sollozzo (Al Lettieri), also known as 'The Turk' is perhaps the more significant of the two, for what his actions lead to, and how his ties to real-life gangsters add a degree of realism to The Godfather.

The Art of Elysium, a nonprofit organization that focuses on healing and inspiring through art, will honor filmmaker Lee Daniels with the Visionary Award at its Heaven Gala, which will take place on March 22, 2025.

The Los Angeles event is a one-night-only art installation conceived and curated by the chosen Visionary, who creates his or her idea of “heaven on Earth” as it relates to The Art of Elysium’s four main disciplines: fashion and design, music and movement, theatre and film, and visual arts. Daniels will envision his “heaven” as eternal peace.

“Being asked to envision heaven could not have come up at more inopportune time, yet the perfect timing in every way,” Daniels said in a statement. “I was in the midst of releasing a film and being pulled in every direction imaginable.

Embattled singer Perry Farrell appears to be on shaky ground with his bandmates both past and present.

Adding to the fallout from his onstage fight with guitarist Dave Navarro and the possible disbandment of Jane’s Addiction, one of Farrell’s former bandmate in Porno for Pyros, bassist Martyn LeNoble, has posted an eviscerating takedown of the singer and his wife Etty Lau Farrell on social media.

“I can say, unequivocally, that Perry has been the worst frontman I’ve ever worked with,” LeNoble wrote in series of posts on X/Twitter Sunday night (September 29th). “Always a kind word, followed by shitty actions. The fish rots from the head down. I still don’t understand how he channeled some of those great lyrics & vocals on the first two Jane’s records.”

American Pickers star Mike Wolfe loves finding a good deal on some classic antiques.

Dan Cleary, a guitar tech who was working the tour, has given a detailed account of the events leading up to the incident, while also divulging that Farrell punched guitarist Dave Navarro in the face backstage after the initial onstage skirmish.

On the heels of Jane’s Addiction canceling their tour following an onstage physical altercation between bandmates, guitarist Dave Navarro has hinted that the legendary alt-rock band is over. The revelation comes via a new Instagram post in which Navarro laments, “I am gutted that things ended this way.”

Last Friday (September 13th), singer Perry Farrell shoved and punched Navarro onstage during a show in Boston. As the frontman was being pulled off the guitarist, it appeared that bassist Eric Avery landed a few punches on Farrell. The incident resulted in Jane’s Addiction canceling the remainder of their tour with Love and Rockets. A statement from Navarro, Avery, and drummer Stephen Perkins cited Farrell’s erratic behavior and “mental health difficulties,” while Farrell himself apologized to Navarro and the band’s fans.

On Wednesday (September 18th), in the wake of the tour cancellation, Jane’s Addiction released the new single “True Love.

The speed with which press cycles churn these days, it can be hard for anyone to maximize their time in the spotlight. So, it’s hard to begrudge Jane’s Addiction for taking this opportunity — two days after canceling a big reunion tour following an onstage altercation between bandmates Perry Farrell and Dave Navarro — to release a new single.

The track is called “True Love,” and the band actually debuted it live over a year ago near the end of a show in Bakersfield, California. At the time, the band’s onstage lineup featured Farrell,...

Jane’s Addiction have released the new song “True Love” — the second single from the band’s reunited classic lineup.

The track comes at an awkward time following the cancellation of the group’s remaining US tour dates due to singer Perry Farrell’s concerning behavior toward his bandmates. The turmoil culminated with Farrell throwing a punch at guitarist Dave Navarro during an onstage confrontation at a show in Boston last week, leading to Farrell being subdued by his stage crew and bandmates.

It was announced on Monday (September 16th) that the rest of the US tour would be cancelled, with Navarro and fellow Jane’s Addiction members Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins citing “a continuing pattern of behavior and the mental health difficulties of our singer Perry Farrell” in a joint statement. Farrell subsequently issued an apology to his bandmates and the fans.

In video footage of the Boston show that fans had captured, Farrell was in the middle of performing “Ocean Size” when he started grunting and yelling at the crowd, “F—- you.”

The singer approached Navarro, shoving him. Farrell momentarily backs up but then tried to confront the guitarist again while Navarro calmly attempted to create space between the two with his arm.

In turn, Farrell punched Navarro’s chest, prompting several crew members to separate the bandmates. They escorted the singer offstage as the lights are lowered on stage.

The remaining band members—Navarro, Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins —stepped forward to bid the crowd farewell.

Updated with Farrell statement: Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Ferrell apologized this morning for a onstage confrontation he initiated with the band’s Dave Navarro in Boston on Friday.

In a statement issued to multiple outlets, Ferrell said, “This weekend has been incredibly difficult and after having the time and space to reflect, it is only right that I apologize to my bandmates, especially Dave Navarro, fans, family and friends for my actions during Friday’s show. Unfortunately, my breaking point resulted in inexcusable behavior, and I take full accountability for how I chose to handle the situation.”

Ferrell’s onstage combustibility has long been a powerful feature of the band’s presence, with the singer often riffing between songs on issues both political and personal.
