The confrontation occurred late in the set while the band was performing "Ocean Size." Farrell reportedly bumped shoulders with Navarro and then appeared to throw a punch at him, leading to chaos on stage.
Witnesses described Farrell as appearing drunk or high, mumbling lyrics throughout the night
After the altercation, crew members and bassist Eric Avery intervened to restrain Farrell, who was then forcibly removed from the stage as he struggled against being escorted off.
Videos of the incident quickly circulated on social media, with fans expressing shock and confusion over the abrupt end to the concert.
Reports indicate that tensions had been building throughout the performance, particularly during earlier songs like "Mountain Song" and "Three Days," leading up to the physical confrontation.
After Farrell was removed, the remaining band members, including Navarro, expressed gratitude to the audience, indicating a sense of camaraderie despite the incident.
This incident followed a series of performances where Farrell's vocal abilities were questioned, with him admitting to difficulties during earlier shows in New York City.
The Boston concert was part of a co-headlining tour with Love and Rockets, which is set to continue despite the incident, with upcoming performances scheduled.
As of now, neither Farrell nor the band has issued a public statement regarding the incident or its implications for the future of Jane's Addiction.
