Frontman Perry Farrell and guitarist Dave Navarro fought while on stage during a show in Boston last month, and the band subsequently canceled their remaining dates and confirmed a hiatus, citing “difficulties of mental health” of the leader.

talking Jackass the star steve-o’s wild ride podcast Stanley said, “You don’t hit. And you don’t bring your problems on stage. You leave your ego, well, that’s harder. But you leave your anger and your resentment at the bottom of the stairs.”

He went on to say that “the audience doesn’t deserve this,” referring to the onstage fight, adding, “The audience paid. And that goes back to the very philosophy of (KISS) being the band that never we saw

“People get a chance to see you, possibly on tour. It doesn’t matter if it’s last night or the night after – that’s their night, and for them to see you without interacting with your bandmate, that’s bullshit. That’s disrespectful to the people who paid.”

Jane’s Addiction guitar technician Dan Cleary recently shared Farrell’s isolated mic track from the performance that saw him battle it out on stage with Navarro.

Cleary, the band’s guitar and bass technician for 17 years, put the footage on YouTube with his narration, and also recently revealed that Farrell had punched Navarro in the face backstage after the initial altercation

Farrell’s wife, Etty Lau, had also spoken out about the situation, attributing Perry’s behavior to him suffering from “tinnitus and a sore throat every night”, which had been made worse by the volume of the stage “extremely loud” and his voice “had been drowned out by the band”.

He has since said Farrell was taking time to “reflect and heal,” and would seek help from an otolaryngologist and a neurologist. He also said there was “no need for (her) to address the other false narratives” about the situation.

Meanwhile, Porno For Pyros bassist Martyn LeNoble recently described Farrell as “the worst frontman I’ve ever worked with” in a scathing series of posts shared on X/Twitter.

On his recently completed tour of the UK and Europe earlier this year, NME gave the band a five-star review for their gig at London’s Roundhouse.

“Now back in full swing, fan favorites like ‘Mountain Song’, ‘Ain’t No Right’ and ‘Been Caught Stealing’ come rushing in and seem to have a new lease of life pushing the set into a new version. heights,” it said.

“Not only does Navarro take every opportunity he gets to display a dizzying number of electrifying licks, but Perkins and Avery keep the rhythm section tight enough to put anyone to shame, all while telepathically knowing when to play with the dynamics and take the interpretations in new sound directions”.
