Perry Farrell is taking time to “reflect and heal” after canceled Jane’s Addiction tour

Perry Farrell is taking time out to “reflect and heal” following the cancellation of Jane’s Addiction’s remaining tour dates, his wife Etty Lau has said.

In a post on her Instagram page, Lau gave fans an update on the singer after the band announced the axing of their remaining tour dates and shared that they will be going on hiatus due to internal conflicts.

It came after Farrell and guitarist Dave Navarro got into a fight while on stage during a show in Boston earlier this month.

She wrote: “As you know, Perry is the gentleman of souls. We are equally astonished at Perry’s physical outburst as you are – but you must know that Perry must have been pushed to his absolute limit.. to that end we apologise.

“We are taking a bit of time to ourselves, to reflect and to heal. Perry already has appointments with an otolaryngologist and a neurologist.”

Etty also dismissed rumors about Perry’s alleged drunkenness as a contributing factor to the onstage tensions adding: “If you know and love Perry well, you know there’s no need for me to address the other false narratives. Our souls know.”

She added: “With all of your love, kindness, compassion and support, you know, Perry will persevere.. He will recover. He will be happy again. He will once again be able to share his music, vision and artistry – unbridled.

“Make no mistake when he’s ready he will take another giant leap over obstacles to make us laugh, think, while changing the world together. We can rejoice together then. And you will know, we would not have been able to do it without you.”

The band issued apologies to fans for the cancellation of the tour with Farrell also apologizing and taking full accountability for his actions.

Earlier this week, Navarro also apologized to the bands who were supporting Jane’s Addiction while on tour.

He wrote: “I would like to personally apologize to Love and Rockets (and) Crawlers and their crews for such a terrible outcome of what started off as an incredibly magical tour.”

Navarro continued: “Love & Rockets are heroes of mine and I am so grateful I had the opportunity to perform on the same stage as them for as long as I did. It has truly been an honor!”

He also suggested that Jane’s Addiction may have come to an end.

Elsewhere, the band quietly shared their new single ‘True Love’ – a track that they debuted at an intimate show at London’s Bush Hall earlier this year.

At their recently completed UK and European tour, NME gave the band a five-star review for their gig at London’s Roundhouse, which took place just days after the Bush Hall show.

“Now back in full swing, fan-favorites including ‘Mountain Song’, ‘Ain’t No Right’ and ‘Been Caught Stealing’ come in thick and fast, and seem to have a new lease of life that push the set to new heights,” it read.

“Not only does Navarro take every chance he gets to showcase a dizzying number of electrifying licks, but Perkins and Avery hold down the rhythm section with enough intensity to put anyone to shame – all while telepathically knowing when to toy with dynamics and take the renditions in sonic new directions.”
