Perry Farrell’s wife gives update on his health following violent outburst
"Perry must had been pushed to his absolute limit.. to that end we apologize."
Perry Farrell is seeking medical help. The news was announced by his wife, Etty Lau Farrell, on Sunday following his violent outburst during a Jane’s Addiction concert.
On September 13, Farrell reportedly appeared to have thrown a punch at his bandmate, guitarist Dave Navarro, during a heated confrontation in front of the audience.
Etty took to Instagram to defend her husband's behaviour, saying he is a humble soul who must have been pushed.
"Beyond grateful and so very humbled we are, to all the dears that have taken the time to send us such beautiful words of love and support - checking in over and over again to make sure we are well taken care of. Offering love and compassion, words of kindness, and even your homes for us to escape to…
"Like attracts like. Kindness attracts kindness. As you know, Perry is the gentlest of souls. We are equally astonished at Perry’s physical outburst as you are - but you must know that Perry must had been pushed to his absolute limit.. to that end we apologize."

Etty went on to add that her husband is also seeking medical help.
"We are taking a bit of time to ourselves, to reflect and to heal. Perry already has appointments with a otolaryngologist and a neurologist. If you know and love Perry well, you know there’s no need for me to address the other false narratives. Our souls know," she wrote.
She added that the 'Godfather of Alternative Music' will recover.
"With all of your love, kindness, compassion and support, you know, Perry will persevere.. He will recover. He will be happy again. He will once again be able to share his music, vision and artistry - unbridled. Make no mistake when he’s ready he will take another giant leap over obstacles to make us laugh, think, while changing the world together."
She emphasised the importance of his fans' support.
"We can rejoice together then. And you will know, we would not have been able to do it without you," she added.
