Just hours before they were to take the stage in Toronto, Jane’s Addiction have cancelled the remainder of their Imminent Redemption tour.
Just days before they were to take the stage in Toronto, Jane’s Addiction have cancelled the remainder of their Imminent Redemption tour.
The band, whose members exchanged blows on stage in Boston on Friday, said in a post on Facebook that they had “made the difficult decision to take time some time away as a group.
“As such, they will be cancelling the remainder of the tour,” the post continued. “Refunds for the cancelled dates will be issued at your point of purchase.”
In a post to Instagram, guitarist Dave Navarro, bassist Eric Avery and drummer Stephen Perkins said the show had been cancelled due to the “continuing pattern of behavior and the mental health difficulties of our singer Perry Farrell.”
The post continued: “our concern for his personal health and safety as well as our own has left us no alternative. We hope that he will find the help he needs.”
Jane’s Addiction’s next scheduled performance was to be at Budweiser Gardens in Toronto on Wednesday night. It was the only time the group was scheduled to take the stage in Canada on the current tour.
Problems surfaced for the band on Friday night in Boston as video showed Farrell walking over to Navarro mid-song and bumping him before swinging his elbow at his shocked-looking bandmate.
