“Guitarist Dave Navarro, bassist Eric Avery, and drummer Stephen Perkins are jointly suing Jane’s Addiction singer Perry Farrell for his actions last September when, during the band’s concert at Leader Bank Pavilion, the frontman abruptly attacked Navarro. In the lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court and first reported by TMZ and Rolling Stone, Navarro alleges assault and battery, while he, Avery, and Perkins all claim intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract. The bandmates are seeking $10 million in damages, according to media reports. … Farrell answered back later in the day with his own lawsuit, suing the band and saying he is the actual victim of ‘a years-long bullying campaign.'” (07/16/25)
