"Clearly there had been a lot of tension and animosity between the members," she wrote on Instagram, alongside a video of the confrontation. "The magic that made the band so dynamic. Well, the dynamite was lit. Perry got up in Dave’s face and body checked him."

"He felt that the stage volume had been extremely loud and his voice was being drowned out by the band," Etty wrote in her post. "Perry had been suffering from tinnitus and a sore throat every night. But when the audience in the first row, started complaining up to Perry cussing at him that the band was planning too loud and that they couldn’t hear him, Perry lost it."
She continued, "The band started the song 'Ocean' before Perry was ready and did the count off.. The stage volume was so loud at that point, that Perry couldn’t hear pass the boom and the vibration of the instruments and by the end of the song, he wasn’t singing, he was screaming just be to be heard."
