Dave Navarro Sues Perry Farrell For Assault, Battery After Onstage Fight

Dave Navarro is suing Perry Farrell for assault and battery … and his fellow Jane’s Addiction members are also jumping on the lawsuit — demanding millions from the lead singer.

Navarro, Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins filed a lawsuit against Farrell Wednesday over a fight that went down onstage in September 2024 … which they say derailed their North American tour and planned album afterward.

Remember … we obtained video from a show on September 13, 2024, where Farrell and Navarro got into each other’s faces and began shoving one another.

Navarro claims the fighting continued backstage … adding no one could calm Perry down, and alleging Farrell punched him in the face. Navarro he found this especially triggering because he’s the victim of a violent encounter that occurred during his teenage years.

Navarro says the band was forced to cancel 15 nights and put their album on hold because of the fight … leading to major financial losses.

Farrel’s wife Etty said shortly after the show he was going to meet with a neurologist and an otolaryngologist — an ear, nose and throat doctor — for medical consultations.

Navarro is suing Farrell for assault and battery … while all three of the bandmembers are suing for emotional distress, negligence, breach of contract and more. They’re seeking minimum damages of $10 million.
