Dave Navarro says Jane's Addiction is 'forever destroyed' after onstage fight
Dave Navarro is speaking in no uncertain terms about the future of Jane's Addiction. Navarro, guitarist for the popular rock band, spoke to Guitar Player about the onstage fight between him and frontman Perry Farrell that took place last September, telling the outlet that the incident "forever destroyed" the band. "I have to speak in broad strokes here, because there are other individuals involved, and it's still very tender and unresolved," he began. "There was an altercation onstage, and all the hard work and dedication and writing and hours in the studio, and picking up and leaving home and crisscrossing the country and Europe and trying to overcome my illness — it all came to a screeching halt and forever destroyed the band's life. And there's no chance for the band to ever play together again," Navarro shared. "I have to say that's my least favorite gig, without throwing animosity around, and without naming names and pointing fingers, and coming up with reasons." Navarro explained that before that fateful concert, the band was "gelling, really, for the first time" because they were older and more settled. He called the shows they played during that tour "some of my favorite Jane's Addiction gigs of all-time." He'd been forced to sit out on touring with the band for two years due to a battle with long COVID, and first returned to performing with Jane's Addiction that May. "There was no ego issue; it was just four guys making great music, just like we did in the beginning. I was just us on a stage, with people going f---ing crazy," he told Guitar Player. "And that gig, September 13th, in Boston, ended all of that. And for that reason, that is my least favorite gig that I have ever played." Navarro added that with the band, "The experiences are there, but the potential of having those types of experiences ended that night. And so, you know… it is what it is." During the Sept. 13 concert, videos taken by fans showed Farrell approaching Navarro, seemingly upset. He shoved Navarro with his shoulder, then advanced on him. Navarro held him back with a forearm to his chest, but Farrell threw a punch before one of the band's techs intervened. Farrell's wife, Etty Lau Farrell, addressed the issue in a social media post at the time, offering a firsthand account of the incident. She claimed that her husband had been growing frustrated because he felt like the volume had been too loud and that his voice was being drowned out. She also wrote that he had been struggling with tinnitus and a sore throat for several nights. She said that Farrell "lost it" when fans in the front row began complaining that they couldn't hear him sing. According to her, the band began a song before he was ready, and "by the end of the song, he wasn't singing, he was screaming just to be heard." She crowned Eric Avery, the bass guitarist for Jane's Addiction, the winner of the brawl, explaining that after Farrell was pulled away from Navarro, he approached Farrell from behind, then "put Perry in a headlock and punched him in the stomach three times." Avery then apologized to the audience and ended the show. Days later, Jane's Addiction shared a statement announcing that read in part, "Due to a continuing pattern of behavior and the mental health difficulties of our singer Perry Farrell, we have come to the conclusion that we have no choice but to discontinue the current US tour. Our concern for his personal health and safety as well as our own has left us no alternative. We hope that he will find the help he needs." At the time, Farrell shared a statement with Fox News Digital that read, "This weekend has been incredibly difficult and after having the time and space to reflect, it is only right that I apologize to my bandmates, especially Dave Navarro, fans, family and friends for my actions during Friday's show. Unfortunately, my breaking point resulted in inexcusable behavior, and I take full accountability for how I chose to handle the situation." A representative for Farrell did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment on Navarro's latest statements.

Dave Navarro Says ‘No Chance' Jane's Addiction Reunite After Onstage Fight
Dave Navarro said in a new interview that there is 'no chance' Jane's Addiction will ever reunite again following a viral onstage confrontation that abruptly ended the band. Speaking to Guitar Player, Navarro was asked what was the least favorite gig in his lengthy career. The guitarist easily pinpointed, 'It would be a gig last September, on Friday the 13th, in Boston.'

Navarro told Guitar Player that the band's European reunion shows with returning bassist Eric Avery 'were some of my favorite Jane's Addiction gigs of all-time.' 'There was no bullshit: No props. No nothing onstage. No dancing, no pyro, and no gimmicks,' Navarro said. 'I'll just say that the experience prior to that [Boston] gig, when we were in Europe and gelling, really, for the first time — because at our ages, in our 50s and 60s, everybody's done what they're gonna do, and we weren't competitive with each other — we were getting along. There was no ego issue; it was just four guys making great music, just like we did in the beginning. I was just us on a stage, with people going fucking crazy,' the guitarist said. However, all that changed in Boston. While Navarro didn't want to start 'naming names and pointing fingers,' he said of the gig, 'There was an altercation onstage, and all the hard work and dedication and writing and hours in the studio, and picking up and leaving home and crisscrossing the country and Europe and trying to overcome my illness — it all came to a screeching halt and forever destroyed the band's life. And there's no chance for the band to ever play together again.' He added. 'And that gig, September 13th, in Boston, ended all of that. And for that reason, that is my least favorite gig that I have ever played.' In the months since the demise of Jane's Addiction, Navarro has continued to work with his band mates Avery and drummer Stephen Perkins, but the now-trio has not released any new music as of yet.

Pete Davidson and new girlfriend Elsie Hewitt take major step in relationship
Pete Davidson and girlfriend Elsie Hewitt have taken their relationship to the next level. The 31-year-old comedian and his 29-year-old model counterpart are now living together, two months after they were confirmed to be a pair. According to a source who spoke with TMZ, the lovebirds are balancing time between Davidson's home in upstate New York and a Brooklyn brownstone they're renting. It was noted by the outlet that their lease includes an option to buy, and that the two stars are happy and in love. The update comes weeks after Pete and Elsie attended his friend Dave Navarro's wedding in in Scotland. News of the fresh romance emerged in March, with insiders describing Hewitt as a 'non-celebrity' and unlike 'anybody else he's ever dated,' per Page Six. The outlet added that Davidson is 'very happy' and that his new lady 'respects Pete and his desire for privacy.' Despite his preference to stay out of the spotlight, Elsie went Instagram official with her beau in late March. She took to the social media app, where she boasts one million followers, to post a brief video of the SNL star outstretching his arms to hug her as he entered the room in a white robe. Their relationship went public that month when they were spotted at a luxury beachfront hotel in Palm Beach, Florida. They packed on the PDA while swimming and lounging in the sun. Pete's love life update comes after his split with Madelyn Cline last year. His previous high-profile relationships include his whirlwind engagement to Ariana Grande as well as flings with Kate Beckinsale, Margaret Qualley, and Kaia Gerber. He famously struck up a romance with Kim Kardashian after the two crossed paths when she was a guest star on Saturday Night Live in October 2021. They subsequently attended the 2022 Met Gala together and the Staten Island native even met her four kids, whom she shares with ex-husband Kanye West. Their time together came to an end in August 2022.

Carmen Electra, 53, was a Baywatch star who posed for Playboy and dated Prince... see her now
Carmen Electra was one of the hottest pin-up stars of the 1990s. The Baywatch icon, 53, was born as Tara Leigh Patrick, was pretty much discovered by her boyfriend Prince. The brunette bombshell also was friends with Hugh Hefner and posed for the cover of Playboy magazine several times. And she went on to have a successful acting career which included roles in films like American Vampire, Good Burger, Scary Movie, and various parody films such as Date Movie and Epic Movie. She also starred in the remake of the television show Starsky & Hutch. On Monday the siren looked ageless when at a red carpet event. Electra was youthful in a low-cut vest with matching suit when at New Line Cinema's Final Destination: Bloodline premiere at TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Last year she was in the news for a legal matter. She filed legal documents asking for her name to be formally changed to Carmen Electra, as per TMZ. The star — who was seen holding hands with Godsmack lead signer Sully Erna, 55 — filed the paperwork on December 29, 2023, though it's unclear why she has decided to make the name change official. Electra has been going by the moniker since the early '90s, when she became a worldwide sensation thanks to Baywatch. It's not clear if the request has been granted yet, but the process usually doesn't take long. Though she has been married twice, she has never taken the last name of either of her husband. Electra was married to musician Dave Navarro from 2003 until 2007. Prior to that she wed NBA star Dennis Rodman in 1998, before their divorce the following year in 1999. The star became known as Carmen Electra during her years at Prince's Paisley Park Records in the early 90s. In 1993 she made her singing debut with her self-titled debut studio album, which would be her only one. Carmen previously reveled that Prince was the one who coined her famous moniker, after they met in 1991. 'I auditioned for an all girl group that he was putting together and he ended up signing me to his label Paisley Park,' she told The Yo Show in 2014, as per Yahoo Entertainment. 'After I danced for him he said, "You look like Electra. That should be your name."' At the time she shared that the nickname didn't stick at first. These days she still looks incredible. Electra was youthful at New Line Cinema's Final Destination: Bloodline premiere at TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on May 12 'I thought it sounded kinda like a super hero type of name which actually it is. So I was hesitant but it just sorta grew on me and that's it. I'm Electra now,' the bombshell explained. Following the release of her record, Carmen continued on to have a successful career including a Playboy magazine cover, and numerous television and movie roles. Carmen landed her iconic Baywatch role as sexy lifeguard Lani McKenzie in 1997, which helped establish her as a sex symbol. The star left the series after one season because of her hectic schedule and her mother being ill. She later returned for the reunion movie, Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding, in 2003.

Lollapalooza's weird, wild history
The first-ever show of the first-ever Lollapalooza tour took place on July 18, 1991, on a 120-degree day in the Arizona desert. It was so hot that Nine Inch Nails' equipment melted, and Trent Reznor, front man of the then-baby band, stormed off dramatically after trashing the stage ('Fire everyone,' he instructed a roadie). Dave Navarro and Perry Farrell, members of headlining band Jane's Addiction, came to blows during their set; no one was sure they'd make it to the next date of the six-week nationwide tour. 'Lollapalooza: The Uncensored Story of Alternative Rock's Wildest Festival' is a riotous oral history of the granddaddy of alterna-tours, written by music journalists Richard Bienstock and Tom Beaujour.
