The future of Jane's Addiction looks bleak as the band have cancelled their next scheduled show after an onstage bust-up.

Guitarist Dave Navarro has also added to speculation over the band's future by posting a cryptic "goodbye" message on social media.

Fans were left disappointed when the band ended their Boston show early after frontman Perry Farrell took a swing at Navarro and had to be restrained.

They were performing their song Ocean Size at the Leader Bank Pavilion on Friday, September 13, when the incident occurred.

While no official statement has been made on the band's future, tonight's show (Sunday, September 15) at the Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater in Bridgeport, Connecticut, has ben cancelled by the band via an Instagram story.

It says: "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."

The other remaining 14 dates have not been pulled, but it seems unlikely they will go ahead as Navarro posted a picture with the caption "goodbye" on his Instagram account.

Farrell's wife Etty gave her first-person account of the incident in Boston, describing him as a "crazed beast" and pointing the finger at bassist Eric Avery for his involvement in the aftermath.

While some described Avery's actions as an attempt to de-escalate the situation, Etty Farrell says the bassist took advantage and got "a few cheap shots" in on the vocalist.

Tickets are currently still being sold on some websites for the remaining tour dates.
