Jane’s Addiction fans found humor in singer Perry Ferrell and guitarist Dave Navarro’s onstage outburst during Friday’s show in Boston.
A video of the altercation went viral online, showing the lead singer approaching Navarro, pushing him, getting in his face and even throwing a punch before a crew member could intervene.
Navarro had to be escorted off stage by several crew members when the lights went out.
Fans compared the altercation to the antics of another band known for not getting along as well.
‘Jane’s Addiction is giving everyone a sneak peek of what the Oasis reunion shows will be like,’ one follower joked on X, re-sharing the video.

“Nice to see Oasis, sorry Jane’s Addiction reunion going well,” one commenter joked.
On Instagram, fans defended the cancellation of the rest of the reunion tour.
“Please cancel the rest of the tour. Jane’s legacy does not deserve to be remembered this way. Especially considering what it took for Dave to come back and be himself again. Perry we love you, please get help and find your personal REDEMPTION,” one fan suggested.
‘ANGRY OLD MEN FIGHTING ON STAGE ARE PATHETIC!!!!!!’ exclaimed another.
Others complained about Perry’s performance at previous concerts.
“I saw the Raleigh show last night… Perry F was so drunk the show was easily the worst concert I’ve ever been to,” wrote one disappointed fan after attending the Sept. 3 concert, adding, “I can’t believe I paid $167 for that ‘performance.'”
Farrell’s wife, Etty Lau, took to Instagram to share her husband’s side of the story.
Several fans took to X to share their thoughts on what the future might hold for other bands reuniting after a long hiatus. “Jane’s Addiction gave everyone a taste of what Oasis reunion shows will be like,” one follower joked on X, re-sharing the video.

She admitted that there had been “tension and animosity between the band members” but felt this wasn’t always a bad thing as it was also “the magic that made the band so dynamic.”
Lau claimed her husband, the band’s frontman, was upset after his bandmates “choked him out” by playing too loud at the Boston show, which she said continued for several songs before he “lost control.”
“Rather than speculate, I thought I’d post a first-person account of what happened on stage,” he wrote after footage of the fight went viral.
Some fans on Instagram pleaded with the group to cancel the rest of the tour to preserve their legacy.
One fan angrily lashed out at the violence.
Complaints from previous shows were also shared on Jane’s Addiction’s Instagram page before the incident.
But on Friday night, Lau said her husband reached breaking point after fans booed him because they couldn’t hear him.
“He didn’t sing, he shouted just to be heard,” he said.
The group is scheduled to play in Hartford, Connecticut, on Sunday night.
The Boston show was part of a reunion tour after the group reunited for the first time in 14 years earlier this year.
