Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic The remainder of the reunion tour by the original lineup of Jane’s Addiction, the group’s first in 14 years, has been canceled. While a general statement issued under the band’s name collectively did not lay blame, guitarist Dave Navarro laid it squarely at singer Perry Farrell‘s feet in a separate statement issued on his own social accounts and co-signed by the other two band members, saying Farrell is experiencing mental health issues and saying they “hope he finds the help he needs.” It’s a development that came to seem inevitable after the world witnessed footage of an on-stage melee that saw Farrell taking a punch at guitarist Navarro, followed by bassist Eric Avery going after Farrell as he and two crew members struggled to get the singer off-stage.
