Jane’s Addiction's Dave Navarro has accused Perry Farrell of launching a “brutal and unprovoked” assault during the band's reunion tour last year.

As Farrell says in his lawsuit, the history of Jane's Addiction has been peppered with "well-documented" antagonism between its "original" members, who settled in as the lineup in 1986, a year after the band was founded. That antagonism is clear in both complaints, which were reviewed by The Times.
