In his apology, Farrell expressed deep regret, acknowledging that exhaustion and poor judgment led to his outburst. He specifically apologized to Navarro, his bandmates, fans, and loved ones. He admitted that he had reached a breaking point, attributing his behavior to not taking care of his well-being in time.
Sources close to the singer revealed that Farrell is heartbroken over what happened, recognizing that the toll of exhaustion on his mental and physical health was severe. Despite his efforts to push through, he now feels he has let down both his fans and family.
The band's reunion tour, which marked their first in 14 years, was cut short after the onstage fight. Jane's Addiction made a brief statement confirming they had decided to take time away as a group, but Navarro's personal statement on Instagram was more direct. He pointed to Farrell's ongoing mental health struggles as the reason the band had to discontinue the U.S. tour. Navarro expressed concern for Farrell's health and safety, as well as the safety of the band.
Navarro, Avery, and Perkins also emphasized that they saw no way to guarantee a safe environment on stage or to consistently deliver a strong performance under the current circumstances. They expressed their disappointment but felt they had no other option.
Farrell's wife, Etty Lau Farrell, hinted at underlying tension between the band members. She explained that her husband had been dealing with tinnitus and a sore throat on the day of the show, which contributed to his frustration when the band started playing a song before he was ready. She also shared that Farrell was deeply affected by the incident, crying afterward.
The fallout has been tough for all involved, and the band has no immediate plans to continue the tour.
