Perry Farrell, legendary lead singer of Jane’s Addiction, is prioritizing his health following a distressing display of aggression at a recent Boston concert. His wife, Etty Lau Farrell, revealed on social media that Farrell is consulting with both an otolaryngologist and a neurologist to address his medical needs.
The incident occurred during a performance on September 13, where Farrell had a physical confrontation with bandmate Dave Navarro. Following the altercation, Etty Lau expressed her shock and extended apologies to fans, explaining that her husband had been enduring mounting stress and health issues that likely contributed to his actions.
“Anyone who knows Perry understands he’s fundamentally a kind soul,” Etty Lau stated on Instagram. “This outburst was out of character and occurred under extreme duress.” She further explained that Farrell had been struggling with tinnitus and vocal strain, exacerbated by the high volume on stage which led to his breaking point when fans also voiced their difficulty hearing him over the music.
In the wake of this incident, Jane’s Addiction members Dave Navarro, Stephen Perkins, and Eric Avery announced the cancellation of their tour and an indefinite hiatus to address the underlying issues. They expressed regret over the situation and underscored the necessity of prioritizing Farrell’s mental health.
Farrell himself has expressed remorse for the event, admitting to reaching a breaking point and recognizing the need for a reflective hiatus. “This period has been intensely challenging,” Farrell shared. “I’m committed to doing what’s necessary to heal and ensure this does not happen again.”
The rock community and fans have responded with a mix of support and concern, rallying around Farrell as he navigates this personal and professional crisis. The situation has highlighted the pressures artists often face and the importance of mental health support in the high-stress environment of live performances.
