JAKARTA - The American alternative rock band Jane's Addiction has finally officially disbanded. This bitter decision was taken after a long feud that began with an incident where Perry Farrell (vocals) beat Dave Navarro (guitar) on stage in September 2024.
The news of the band's end was confirmed through official statements from Farrell and the other three members separately.
As for the incident on stage, it had previously triggered legal tensions involving a counter-claim between Farrell and Navarro, Eric Avery (bass), and Stephen Perkins (drums).
However, in the latest development, all parties agreed to end the dispute and confirmed that Jane's Addiction had reached the end point.
"After the show, unbeknownst to Perry, we unilaterally decided that it was best not to continue the tour and made an inaccurate statement about Perry's mental health, which we regret," Jane's Addiction wrote on their official Instagram account, Friday, December 19.
"Today we are here to announce that we have come together for the last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane's Addiction will remain the work that the four of us created together," he continued. "We are now looking to the future as we embark on our respective musical and creative endeavors. Jane's Addiction will live forever in our hearts. We are proud of the music we created together."
Farrell also apologized publicly through his personal Instagram account. He reflected on his explosive behavior on stage last year and admitted that he was not able to control himself well.
"I want to address what happened on stage last year," Farrell wrote. "I have reflected on it and know that I did not conduct myself in the way I should have. I apologize to the audience and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show."
Farrell further explained that Jane's Addiction has been the center of his life for decades. For him - the band, the songs, the audience, and the impact it has had on music and culture - means more than any words he could ever say.
"My goal has always been to give the best show to our audience, something real, honest, and positive. In Boston, we failed to meet that, and I'm really sorry to everyone affected. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank each of you for the love and support you continue to give," concluded the vocalist.
