Fans of Jane's Addiction were left stunned this week after the band abruptly ended their show when frontman Perry Farrell began to fight with guitarist Dave Navarro.
The band's show at the Leader Bank Pavillion in Boston descended into chaos as Farrell, 65, was filmed appearing to get frustrated while singing 'Ocean Size', before walking over to Navarro and bodychecking him.
The singer then appeared to shout angrily in Navarro's face while the guitarist held him back with one hand, before Farrell shoved his arm away.
The lights were quickly dimmed and other members of the band and crew intervened, before hurrying Farrell off the stage.
Watch the moment below:Now, further details have emerged on what sparked the fight, as Jane's Addiction confirmed they would be cancelling their next show.
They wrote on their Instagram story: "We want to extend a heartfelt apology to our fans for the events that unfolded last night.
"As a result we will be cancelling tomorrow night's show in Bridgeport."
They confirmed that fans would be able to have their tickets refunded as a result of them calling off the show.
Farrell's wife, Etty Lau, took to Instagram to shed further light on what allegedly happened between the band, writing alongside a video of the incident: "Clearly there had been a lot of tension and animosity between the members.. the magic that made the band so dynamic.
"Well, the dynamite was lit. Perry got up in Dave’s face and body checked him."
She explained that Farrell's "frustration had been mounting, night after night" as he felt that his voice was being "drowned out" by the band.
"Perry had been suffering from tinnitus and a sore throat every night. But when the audience in the first row, started complaining up to Perry cussing at him that the band was planning too loud and that they couldn’t hear him, Perry lost it," she claimed.
Lau also called out Eric Avery, who appeared to throw some punches at Farrell's stomach after restraining him, claiming he was the one that "won the fight".
She wrote: "While Dave was keeping Perry at arm’s length to de-escalate the situation. Dan rushed over to de-escalate as well by holding Perry back.
"Dave walked away to take his guitar off. Eric walked up to Perry, upstage, in the dark, behind Dan, put Perry in a headlock and punched him in the stomach three times.
"Kevin, crewmember with a long hair with long hair pulled Eric away. Then Eric nonchalant walked off to the front of the stage to apologize to audience for the show ended early."
Lau added that Farrell "was a crazed beast for the next half an hour - he finally did not calm down, but did breakdown and cried and cried.
"Eric, well he either didn’t understand what descalation meant or took advantage of the situation and got in a few cheap shots on Perry."
Aside from the band's statement, none of the members have yet addressed the situation publicly.
While their Bridgetown show has been cancelled, Jane's Addiction is still scheduled to perform in Toronto, Canada, on September 18.
