Jane's Addiction Members Sue Frontman Perry Farrell

Last September, Jane's Addiction abruptly cancelled their comeback tour after Perry Farrell got into a physical altercation with Dave Navarro onstage. Now, TMZ reports that the guitarist is suing his former bandmate for assault and battery.

The other Jane's band members Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins, are also suing Farrell for emotional distress, negligence, and breach of contract after the incident derailed the tour and new album plans, resulting in major financial loss. All together, the musicians are looking for a minimum of $10 million in damages.

Farrell's legal team shared a statement with TMZ. “This is yet another clear example of the group uniting to isolate and bully frontman Perry Farrell. The timing of this baseless lawsuit is no coincidence—it was filed only after they caught wind of legal action coming from our side. It’s a transparent attempt to control the narrative and present themselves as the so-called ‘good guys’—a move that’s both typical and predictable." the statement reads. "Just like when they released a defamatory and entirely unfounded statement about Perry’s mental health and unilaterally canceled the remaining tour dates without his input, they’re once again scrambling to get ahead of the truth in a desperate effort to save face.”
