Jane’s Addiction imploded in remarkably ugly fashion this past week after lead singer Perry Farrell got into an onstage shoving match with guitarist Dave Navarro in Boston after a series of extremely sloppy shows that left fans concerned for the vocalist’s health. “Due to a continuing pattern of behavior and the mental health difficulties of our singer Perry Farrell, we have come to the conclusion that we have no choice but to discontinue the current US tour,” Dave Navarro, Eric Avery, and Stephen Perkins wrote in a statement. “Our concern for his personal health and safety as well as our own has left us no alternative. We hope that he will find the help he needs.”

“This weekend has been incredibly difficult and after having the time and space to reflect, it is only right that I apologize to my bandmates, especially Dave Navarro, fans, family and friends for my actions during Friday’s show,” Farrell said in response. “Unfortunately, my breaking point resulted in inexcusable behavior, and I take full accountability for how I chose to handle the situation.”

Very few reunions in rock history have ended after onstage violence between two members, but it’s hardly the first time a high-profile reformation didn’t work out. These things often fall apart due to personality conflicts that date back decades; money is another common contributing factor. Here’s a look at 11 reunions that were over almost before they started.

Break-Up: The original schism took place in 1991, but they reformed in 1997, and have mostly existed in the decades that followed in various states of stability and chaos. The reunions failed to include original bassist Eric Avery until 2009, when he briefly returned to Jane’s for a tour with Nine Inch Nails, only to quit once again when it ended. He vented his frustrations in a long series of YouTube videos, which enraged guitarist Dave Navarro. “The guy’s entitled to do whatever the fuck he wants to do, and it’s fine, but keep your fuckin’ mouth shut,” Navarro said in 2013 on his online radio show Dark Matter. “I don’t wish him any harm. I have a lot of fond memories with him. But if you’re going to fuckin’ open your mouth about the inner workings and dynamics of something that has been very, very good to you for a lot of years, and then not follow through on anything else, you’ve got it coming.”
