On July 16, 2025, Navarro, Avery and Perkins filed a lawsuit against Farrell accusing him of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract. The lawsuit also alleges that the group lost over $10 million as a result of the tour’s cancellation and cessation of all band activities including the first studio album with the classic lineup since 1990. The three members are also asking Farrell to pay all of the group’s outstanding bills stemming from the tour’s cancellation. Farrell a few hours later subsequently filed his own lawsuit against Navarro, Avery and Perkins, accusing his bandmates of bullying, assault and battery, and for “harassing him onstage during performances” which allegedly included “playing their instruments at a high volume so that he could not hear himself sing without blasting his own in-ear monitors at an unsafe level.” Farrell also seeks damages for libel , claiming that the other members inaccurately described him in the media as suffering from poor mental health and alcoholism.
