Perry Farrell Sues Bandmates

2025-07-17 by Kip | 19 Comments
Jane’s Addiction lead singer Perry Farrell has filed a lawsuit against bandmates Dave Navarro, Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins following a lawsuit filed by the band against Farrell on Wednesday. The original lawsuit by the band stems from an incident that took place last September in which Farrell angrily confronted Navarro onstage during a performance in Boston, aggressively body checking and shouting at the guitarist before being restrained by stage crew members.




Following the incident, the band canceled the remainder of their tour while Farrell issued a statement apologizing to both fans and bandmates for his behavior. On July 16th Navarro, Avery and Perkins filed a $10 million lawsuit against Farrell accusing the singer of assault both on and off stage, breaching contractual obligations and costing the band millions of dollars in concert revenue as well as interrupting recording of new material with the original lineup.

Farrell, along with his wife, responded with a suit of their own accusing the band of undermining Farrell’s vocal performance by intentionally playing too loud while also blaming Navarro for escalating the dispute backstage. Farrell claims to have developed tinnitus as a result of having to sing louder than his in-ear monitors could safely handle as a result of the band allegedly overpowering his vocals. The lawsuit also accuses the band of not consulting with Farrell before canceling the remainder of their tour while using the singer’s mental health struggles as an excuse for doing so.

A total of 15 dates of their North American reunion tour were canceled and so far there are no plans for Farrell and the band to perform or record together in the future.

I don’t know what happened to the video but it was the onstage incident from last September where Perry got in Dave’s face and was immediately restrained by the stage crew. It was all over YouTube back when it happened so there’s many videos of it still circulating

Agreed he's underrated. Bring him back as the host for Ink Master!

I don't even think it's the lot of them being divas but the singer clearly trying to deflect blame for being an asshole and losing his shit for no reason. Later claiming that they were in cahoots to sabotage your performance and leave you with tinnitus is just sad and pathetic.

And fucking demented. They’re there to make money, I sincerely doubt they’re all in cahoots to give you permanent hearing damage. Evidently he’s been hitting the bottle heavy too, I’d get like that when I was drinking heavy. Paranoid that everyone’s out to get me. Sounds like he’s pretty deep in the hole but I guess that’s anecdotal on my part.

Sounds like he needs rehab and therapy.

Farrell's singing right before this happened was the literal worst sound ever picked up by a microphone.

I can understand fully why people don’t like his voice but I’ve never had a problem with it. Pets and Jane Says both have sentimentality attached from me having grown up with them so there’s extra leeway given
