Jane’s Addiction have apologised after they cancelled an upcoming show following an on-stage brawl in Boston.

On Friday night, the American band cut short their gig after frontman Perry Farrell threw a punch at guitarist David Navarro.

They were due to play in Bridgeport, Connecticut on Sunday as part of their reunion tour but this has now been pulled.

“We want to extend a heartfelt apology to our fans for the events that unfolded last night,” the band wrote on Instagram on Saturday.

“As a result we will be cancelling tomorrow night’s show in Bridgeport.”

The band insisted that fans would be reimbursed.

Footage on social media showed Farrell shouting at Navarro, 57, and punching him.

The 65-year-old rocker was then restrained by staff and taken off stage at Boston’s Leader Bank Pavilion.

Jane’s Addition reunited after more than a decade, and are due to play a string of dates in the coming months throughout the US and Canada.

There has been no confirmation as to whether those shows will still go ahead.

Their hits include Been Caught Stealing, Strays and The Great Escape Artist.

BBC News has approached Jane’s Addiction for a comment.
