When Dire Straits took the stage at Live Aid in '85, most fans had no idea why Sting joined them, but when he started singing the opening lyrics to "Money For Nothing", they realized it was his voice on the radio hit which widely went unnoticed til then 🔥 Goosebumps when Mark Knopfler finally plays that guitar riff and the crowd takes over for the drums.

When did Silent Witness turn into Midsommer Murders? I remember it being a little better acted and a little edgier. What happened?

The latest information based on posts from X and web reports indicates that during a Jane's Addiction concert in Boston on the night of September 13, 2024, an altercation occurred onstage between Perry Farrell, the band's lead singer, and Dave Navarro, the guitarist. Here's what happened:
- Incident: While performing their song "Ocean Size," Perry Farrell visibly got into a confrontation with Dave Navarro. Farrell was seen aggressively shoving Navarro and then throwing a punch at him, which connected with Navarro's upper torso.
- Intervention: Crew members and bassist Eric Avery quickly intervened, restraining Farrell and dragging him offstage. This led to an abrupt end to the concert, which was noted to be near its conclusion anyway, as "Ocean Size" was the 11th song in a set that typically includes 12 to 15 songs.
- Aftermath: After Farrell was removed, Navarro, Avery, and drummer Stephen Perkins (who was celebrating his birthday) returned to the front of the stage to bid goodnight to the audience, showing signs of unity among themselves.
- Context: There were reports of Farrell not being in great form vocally and possibly under the influence during this and previous shows on the tour. Earlier in the week, at a show in New York, Farrell had apologized for his vocal condition. There were also mentions of visible tension between band members during the tour.
- Current Status: As of now, Jane’s Addiction’s tour with Love and Rockets is scheduled to continue, with the next performance set for September 15 in Bridgeport, Connecticut. However, there hasn't been an official statement regarding any changes to their tour schedule or the internal dynamics of the band following the incident.
This event marks a dramatic moment in the current tour of Jane's Addiction, which was significant for being the first in 14 years with the classic lineup, including Navarro who had rejoined after battling long COVID.

More artists should be supportive of the #TicketingRevolution
@onopenxyz has the vision and the solution for bringing transparency to the events/ticketing industry.
Especially, once they release their feature for pre-event financing. Artists won't need a big bag of money and sell their soul to the only lender out there: LiveNation!
