===1989–1991: ''Ritual de lo Habitual''===
Jane's Addiction was scheduled to begin recording its next album in mid-1989. Navarro later stated he had almost no recollection of working on the album due to his addiction to heroin.<ref>Mullen, p. 201–02</ref> ''[[Ritual de lo Habitual]]'' was released in 1990. To support it, the band embarked on a lengthy tour. Farrell recalled, "That thirteen-month tour behind ''Ritual'' was half the reason we wound up unable to stand one another. The other half is that I am an intolerable narcissist who can't get along with anyone."<ref>Mullen, p. 218</ref>

Part of the tour included headlining the first [[Lollapalooza]] festival, which traveled across North America in mid-1991. The festival, created by Farrell and Marc Geiger, was to become a farewell for Jane's Addiction, but also a showcase for other cult artists: [[Siouxsie and the Banshees]], [[Nine Inch Nails]], the [[Butthole Surfers]], [[Living Colour]], [[The Rollins Band]], [[The Violent Femmes]], and [[Ice-T]]'s [[Body Count (band)|Body Count]]. The headliners began to get more exposure than ever before: "[[Been Caught Stealing]]" and "[[Stop! (Jane's Addiction song)|Stop!]]" became hits and earned rotation on MTV. During the first Lollapalooza show, Farrell and Navarro got into a fight onstage<ref>{{cite web|url=http://janesaddiction.org/tour/show/janes-addiction/1991-07-18/194/ |title=Tour Info: Jane's Addiction - July 18, 1991 - Compton Terrace Amphitheatre, Tempe, AZ |website=Janesaddiction.org |date=1991-07-18 |access-date=2020-04-26}}</ref> after violently bumping each other mid-song. The band walked off, but came back to play an [[encore (concert)|encore]]; however, the fight continued and Navarro eventually threw his guitar into the crowd. Regardless, the band continued the tour and played about 25 more Lollapalooza shows, frequently covering [[Sly and the Family Stone]]'s "[[Don't Call Me Nigger, Whitey]]" with Ice-T and Body Count.

Differences between the members on the issue of drug use on the "Ritual" tour led to a schism: Farrell and Perkins regularly partook, while Avery and Navarro abstained. According to ''[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]]'',<ref>''Spin'' 1991, Vol. 7 Num. 3</ref> between shows, Avery and Navarro sought to avoid temptation by retiring to a section of the tour bus set aside for them. After shows, Avery and Navarro (and Navarro's wife at the time, Tanya) would retire to their hotel. "They have," said ''Spin'', "simply learned that they cannot use drugs of any kind anymore without becoming slaves to them, and that slavery is death."

In late 1991, Avery told Navarro that he planned to leave. Navarro quickly agreed to do the same. The two told their management, who in turn tried to convince them to play in Japan, but Avery and Navarro only wanted to play as much as was contractually obligated. The band played its last shows in Australia and Hawaii before disbanding.<ref>Mullen, p. 239–40</ref> "It's weird to be at the end of a cycle like that," remarked Avery, "having run the gamut of the usual 'rock story' from beginning to end: you get signed, get strung out, break up."<ref>{{cite magazine|first= James |last= Halbert |title= Nasy habits |magazine= [[Classic Rock (magazine)|Classic Rock]] |issue= 30 |date= August 2001 |page= 60}}</ref>
