The band had 12 gigs across the US left on their tour before it was cancelled, ending in their home city on 16 October.
Footage on social media from Friday night’s gig showed 65-year-old Farrell shouting at Navarro, 57, and punching him, before being restrained by staff and taken off stage at Boston’s Leader Bank Pavilion.
According to Farrell’s wife, Etty, there had been “tension and animosity” between band members in the lead-up to the incident. She added that Farrell had been frustrated with the volume the band had been playing at.
Jane’s Addiction formed in Los Angeles in 1985, and is considered one of the successes of the early alternative rock scene.
The band consists of Farrell, Navarro, drummer Stephen Perkins and bassist Eric Avery.
They recently reunited after more than a decade apart.
