In Lau’s lengthy post, she wrote that Eric Avery, the founding bass guitarist and co-songwriter of Jane’s Addiction, is the one who “won the fight.”

“Eric walked up to Perry, upstage, in the dark… put Perry in a headlock and punched him in the stomach three times. Kevin, crewmember with long hair… pulled Eric away. Then Eric, nonchalant, walked off to the front of the stage to apologize to [the] audience for the show [ending] early.”
She went on to say that the aftermath of the concert brawl ended with Eric taking “a few cheap shots on Perry.”
“Perry was a crazed beast for the next half an hour – he finally did not calm down, but did breakdown and cried and cried.”
