The Jane's Addiction reunion tour came to an end abruptly in September, 2024 after the vocalist Perry Farrell assaulted the guitarist Dave Navarro on stage during a concert in Boston. The singer later on apologized for his behavior and revealed he would seek professional help. In a new interview with Guitar Player, the guitarist Dave Navarro said there is no chance the band will reunite ever again. But Navarro can work again with the bassist Eric Avery and drummer Stephen Perkins. Dave Navarro says Jane's Addiction will never play together again “There were a couple of gigs on this last run that we did last year in Europe with Eric Avery back on bass that were some of my favorite Jane’s Addiction gigs of all-time. There was no bullshit: No props. No nothing onstage. No dancing, no pyro, and no gimmicks. It was just the four of us and some colored lights, and we were playing the songs, expanding on them, and getting in a kind of weird. If you combined Grateful Dead and Radiohead, there were moments like that — just weird, experimental jams that we’d never done before as a band. And yet, if you were to ask me what my least favorite gig was, it would be a gig last September, on Friday the 13th, in Boston.” “I have to speak in broad strokes here, because there are other individuals involved and it’s still very tender and unresolved. There was an altercation onstage, and all the hard work and dedication and writing and hours in the studio, and picking up and leaving home and crisscrossing the country and Europe and trying to overcome my illness. It all came to a screeching halt and forever destroyed the band’s life. And there's no chance for the band to ever play together again." He continued: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayMakwwevqI&pp=ygUUZGF2ZSBuYXZhcnJvIGFzc2F1bHQ%3D “I have to say that’s my least favorite gig, without throwing animosity around, and without naming names and pointing fingers, and coming up with reasons. I’ll just say that the experience prior to that gig, when we were in Europe and gelling, really, for the first time — because at our ages, in our 50s and 60s, everybody’s done what they’re gonna do, and we weren’t competitive with each other — we were getting along. There was no ego issue; it was just four guys making great music, just like we did in the beginning. I was just us on a stage, with people going fucking crazy. And that gig, September 13th, in Boston, ended all of that. And for that reason, that is my least favorite gig that I have ever played," Dave Navarro said. The band was formed by Perry Farrell, Eric Avery, Stephen Perkins and Dave Navarro back in 1985 in Los Angeles, California. During the past decades they released four praised albums: “Nothing’s Shocking” (1988), “Ritual de lo Habitual” (1990), “Strays” (2003) and “The Great Escape Artist”. Some of their most famous songs are “Jane Says”, “Been Caught Stealing”, “Just Because”, “Mountain Song” and “Stop”. They were active from 1985 to 1991, in 1997, 2001 to 2004 and from 2008 to 2024.
