Rocker Dave Navarro is back in the news after his band spectacularly imploded on stage.
Dave, 57, the original guitarist for 90s alternative rock band Jane’s Addiction, got into a fight with bandmate Perry Farrell in the middle of a show in Boston last week.
Footage captured at the concert showed Farrell, 65, in a physical altercation with Navarro during the band’s hit, Mountain Song.
The onstage altercation prompted Dave to cancel the remaining dates of the band’s first tour in 14 years with the original lineup.
“Due to an ongoing pattern of behavior and mental health difficulties of our lead singer Perry Farrell, we have come to the conclusion that we have no choice but to cut short the current U.S. tour,” Navarro said in a statement.
“Our concern for his personal health and safety, as well as our own, has left us with no other choice. We hope he finds the help he needs,” he added.
Navarro’s troubled career has paralleled his equally tumultuous love life over the years.
The rocker has been married three times and counts among his many lovers porn stars Stormy Daniels, Sasha Gray and Jenna Jameson.
Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro’s tumultuous on-stage career has been mirrored in his personal life with multiple marriages, romantic interests and public battles with drug and alcohol addiction.
Dave has also been linked to the likes of pop star Fiona Apple and MAXIM model Tania Donaldson.
His first marriage was to celebrity makeup artist Tania Goddard Saylor.
However, that union was short-lived, as the couple divorced two years after their nuptials in 1990.
His next marriage was even shorter: it lasted only five days.
Dave joined Jane’s Addiction in 1996, before the band imploded due to infighting and personal tensions in 1991.
Both Navarro’s mother and aunt were murdered by her mother’s ex-boyfriend, John Riccardi, in 1983, who was arrested after appearing on America’s Most Wanted.
After separating from his first wife, Tania Goddard-Saylor, in 1002, Navarro married Rhian Gittins (pictured) only to separate five days later.
Navarro has also been linked to numerous love interests, including former porn star Jenna Jameson (pictured in 2008).

Rhian Gittins married Navarro on October 15, 1994.
They divorced on October 20 of that same year, becoming one of the shortest-lived celebrity unions in history.
Navarro’s next relationship was with actress and model Carmen Electra.
Dave met the former Baywatch star in the early 2000s and quickly gained media attention as a “hot” couple.
That attention came when their relationship was showcased on the reality show Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen and Dave, which aired for seven episodes on MTV in 2004.
Viewers were given a behind-the-scenes look as the popular couple planned their nuptials, with the series culminating on the big wedding day.
Dave then met former Baywatch star Carmen Electra in the early 2000s and the pair quickly captured media attention as an “it” couple.
However, that relationship was also doomed to failure and the couple finally separated two years later in 2006.
Despite the split, in 2019, Electra shared a sweet sentiment towards her ex on social media to celebrate his birthday.
Sharing a photo from her wedding day, Electra wrote: ‘Happy birthday @davenavarro my undying love for you is beyond words.
‘We had a weird mutual understanding that resulted in a lot of laughter, fun, and understanding. Thank you for letting me be myself and not judging my flaws. I mean… the time out system really worked. I’m so thankful we’re still friends! Love you, DN. #happybirthday #untilwepart.’
The rocker is currently engaged to After We Collided actress Vanessa DuBasso.

He was set to become Izzy Stradlin’s replacement guitarist in iconic rock band Guns N Roses, but reportedly never showed up.
He was also in funk-punk rockers Red Hot Chili Peppers, a union that produced the band’s 2005 album, One Hot Minute.
After a pair of Jane’s Addiction reunions, the band reunited for a third time in 2022, this time without Navarro, who had been sidelined due to prolonged COVID.

Talking to him The Huffington Post At the time of the film’s release, Navarro said she didn’t realize the film was a statement about domestic violence until she was in the middle of making it.
“I think that’s partly because as a child I was so close to events, especially in the 1980s, that those words weren’t heard very often,” he said.
“As we were putting the project together, I realized that that was what he was talking about.”
Dave has also had to deal with addiction issues, stemming from the grief of his mother’s death.
After Jane’s Addiction broke up in 1991, Dave checked into rehab and attempted to quit drugs.
He adopted a vegan diet and healthy lifestyle and stayed clean for about five years before relapsing in 1997.
Talking with Adam Carolla In 2022, Dave revealed that he had not used intravenous drugs for almost two decades and had been sober for four years.
“There’s a lot of shame that comes with addiction, with depression, with mental illness, and I myself have suffered not only from addiction but also from mental health issues,” he revealed on the podcast.
“One of the things that stops people from asking for help is shame. The truth is that shame hasn’t saved anyone. Shame is what keeps people dying.”
The rocker is currently engaged to After We Collided actress Vanessa DuBasso.
