Real rockers or ‘Real Housewives’? Jane’s Addiction leads a week of bands spilling bad blood — from the Smiths to REO Speedwagon

nypost.com:

The Beatles broke up.Not to mention the Police, Talking Heads and Guns n’ Roses (sorry, Axl, it’s not GNR without Slash).And who could forget the troubled water that couldn’t be bridged by Simon & Garfunkel?But even some of those bands who have managed to stay together — in some form or fashion — have had as much hate as harmony.

Fleetwood Mac, anyone?Still, it’s been a particularly painful period for some beloved bands. Honestly, we still haven’t gotten over that nasty Hall & Oates split that had us going “Say It Isn’t So.”This past week has been an especially brutal one.

There was Jane’s Addiction imploding in the middle of a reunion tour, as lead singer Perry Farrell came to blows with guitarist Dave Navarro onstage.Not only did their band brawl abruptly end their concert at Boston’s Leader Bank Pavilion, but after canceling the next show, they ended up calling off the whole tour.“To all the fans, the band have made the difficult decision to take some time away as a group,” they announced in a statement posted on Instagram.Navarro, bassist Eric Avery and drummer Stephen Perkins also released another statement pointing the finger at Farrell: “Due to a continuing pattern of behavior and the mental health difficulties our singer Perry Farrell, we have come to the conclusion that we have no choice but to discontinue the current US tour.”Meanwhile, Farrell apologized to his bandmates for his “inexcusable behavior, and I take full accountability for how I chose to handle situation.”Are these real rockers or “Real Housewives”?Another iconic band, the Smiths, is still feuding after breaking up way back in 1987.
