Perry Farrell’s wife Etty Lau Farrell is getting candid about the altercation between the Jane’s Addiction band members on Friday night.

Etty provided a “first person account” detailing what happened during the band’s concert on Sept. 13 in an Instagram post, after her husband was filmed throwing a punch at guitarist Dave Navarro.

She shared a clip of the incident, which shows Perry singing loudly on the microphone and then bumping Navarro’s shoulder with his own before seemingly yelling at the guitarist. Navarro, 57, then placed a hand between himself and Perry before the lead singer appeared to throw a punch at him.

Multiple people then ran onstage to restrain Farrell, with one of the men appearing to punch Perry several times in the stomach as the lights onstage turned off in the video.

Etty wrote that “rather than speculating” about what happened, she wanted to “post a first person account of what happened onstage” with the band. She said there had been “a lot of tension and animosity between the members,” and the “dynamite was lit” that night.

She detailed that the altercation had been a culmination of Perry’s “mounting” frustration due to the “extremely loud” volume of the band’s playing, and that her husband felt that “his voice was being drowned out by the band.”

“Perry had been suffering from tinnitus and a sore throat every night,” she explained. “But when the audience in the first row started complaining [to] Perry, cussing at him that the band was planning too loud and that they couldn’t hear him, Perry lost it.”

“The band started the song Ocean before Perry was ready and did the count off,” Etty continued. “The stage volume was so loud at that point, that Perry couldn’t hear [past] the boom and the vibration of the instruments and by the end of the song, he wasn’t singing, he was screaming just to be heard.”

Etty claimed that while Navarro had tried to keep her husband “at arm’s length to de-escalate the situation,” bassist Eric Avery “put Perry in a headlock and punched him in the stomach three times.” She said a crew member was able to pull Avery away, and he “walked off to the front of the stage to apologize to [the] audience for the show ending early.”

“Dave still looked handsome and cool in the middle of a fight,” Etty wrote. “Perry was a crazed beast for the next half an hour — he finally did not calm down, but did break down and cried and cried.”

“Eric, well he either didn’t understand what de-escalation meant or took advantage of the situation and got in a few cheap shots on Perry,” she added, noting that this was her “first person account narrative of what happened.”

Representatives for both Farrell and Navarro, as well Avery and Live Nation, did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment about the incident.

Jane’s Addiction announced their 23-city tour in May after reuniting for the first time in 14 years to perform an intimate show on May 23 in London.

The tour was originally slated to end in St. Louis at Evolution Festival on Sept. 29, according to a press release. However, in August, the band added several new dates, extending the tour until Oct. 16.

The band’s next show is scheduled to take place at Hartford Healthcare Amphitheater in Bridgeport, Conn., on Sunday, Sept. 15.
