Watch Red Hot Chili Peppers' final show with guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, who's being replaced by former member John Frusciante
Right before that happened, the group was very concerned that carrying on without Frusciante would be a near-impossible task. “I was afraid,” bassist Flea toldat the time. “I couldn’t imagine going out with someone else. It seemed done. … It’s like missing a family member.”But they quickly learned to value Klinghoffer’s unique contributions. “Josh is not a guitar virtuoso like John,” said Flea. “He’s a textural guy who also plays drums and piano.
Unsurprisingly, Klinghoffer was thrilled by the new arrangement. “That’s something I’ve wanted more than anything in my life: to have a band of friends that you trust and love,” he said. “Flea and John had a special relationship — I saw it for years. That Flea and Chad and Anthony could open up and let someone else in, someone new, is amazing to me.”
The band recorded two albums with Klinghoffer , but none of the singles really connected with a mass audience. The band remained a huge live draw during Klinghoffer’s time in the band, though. They spent much of this year playing festivals and other special shows and already have many overseas dates lined up for 2020.
Many questions linger over the news from last night: How long had this been in the works? Was Klinghoffer’s departure voluntary? Are they going to cut a new album right away with Frusciante or focus on touring? Might they use this as an opportunity to play some of their classic Frusciante-era albums likestraight through? Will they still play material from the two Klinghoffer albums in concert? We don’t have any answers at the moment, but hopefully the group will fill fans in with details...
