The incident escalated when Farrell began throwing elbow jabs at Navarro, who attempted to defend himself. Crew members and bassist Eric Avery intervened to restrain Farrell, who continued throwing punches at those involved.
Etty Lau Farrell, Perry's wife, explained that excessive stage volume and audience complaints triggered the incident. She detailed that the bassist put Perry in a headlock and struck him three times, while Navarro attempted to de-escalate the situation.
The band has apologized to fans and canceled their upcoming Bridgeport, Connecticut show. Ticket holders can obtain refunds from their point of purchase. While this date has been canceled, the band's remaining September and October tour dates currently remain scheduled, with their next performance set for September 18 in Toronto.
Remaining tour dates include stops in major cities across North America, including Toronto, Chicago, Denver, Seattle, and Los Angeles, concluding at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood on October 16.
