Months after filing lawsuits against each other, and over a year since the band got into an onstage fight at a Boston show, Jane’s Addiction are reuniting …in order to break up for good. Perry Farrell and the Jane’s Addiction official account issued a joint statement on Instagram, offering an apology to his bandmates and the fans. “I’d like to address what happened on stage last year,” Farrell wrote. “I’ve reflected on it and know I didn’t handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.” Shortly after that, the band’s IG issued an additional statement that read in part “Today we are here to announce that we have come together one last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane’s Addiction will remain the work the four of us created together.”

This all started in September 2024. Farrell was caught on camera punching Dave Navarro at a Boston show. A few days after the scuffle, the band canceled the rest of their reunion tour dates. The following year, Navarro Eric Avery, and Stephen Perkins sued Farrell for $10 million. They cited emotional distress and breach of contract as the main complaints, referring to the canceled tour dates. Farrell filed countersuit, accusing the band of years of bullying. His suit claimed he had no say in canceling the tour and “would not have agreed to do so due to the financial and reputational consequences” (per Variety). It’s not clear whether this joint IG statement is a sign the bandmates have reached a settlement out of court, but at this point nothing’s shocking.
