Navarro said in his own statement on social media that the U.S. tour came to an end because a "continuing pattern of behavior and the mental health difficulties" of Farrell.
"Our concern for his personal health and safety as well as our own has left us no alternative," the guitarist said. "We hope that he will find the help he needs. We deeply regret that we are not able to come through for all our fans who have already bought tickets. We can see no solution that would either ensure a safe environment on stage or reliably allow us to deliver a great performance on a nightly basis."
Jane's Addiction formed in 1985 and is known for songs like "Jane Says" and "Been Caught Stealing." The band was performing on a tour that kicked off in August with original members Farrell, Navarro, bassist Eric Avery and drummer Stephen Perkins.
