The remainder of the reunion tour by the original lineup of Jane’s Addiction was canceled due to mental health issues experienced by lead singer Perry Farrell. Guitarist Dave Navarro indicated that Farrell’s behavior led to the cancellation, expressing concern for his well-being and safety. The band issued a statement announcing the cancellation of the remaining 15 shows on the tour. The decision came after on-stage altercation in Boston, where Farrell hit Navarro before being restrained by crew members. Farrell’s wife, Etty Lau Farrell, shared information about the incident, blaming sound issues for Farrell’s frustration. Fans on social media speculated on the underlying tensions within the band, including alcohol consumption on stage, communication issues, and prior performance difficulties. The cancelled shows included locations such as Toronto, Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles. The band was also working on an album, but its release status is unknown. Despite the band’s history of tension and conflict, the sudden cancellation of the tour shocked fans and raised questions about their future as a band.
