Supposedly, former
Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist
Dave Navarro recently tweeted that he is not, in fact, working with the Peppers again (of course, he is part of the
reunited Jane's Addiction, who played Aspen on New Year's Eve). But he did supposedly confirm that
Josh Klinghoffer has replaced
John Frusciante (who quit over a year ago, but just confirmed
that bit of news) in the band (Josh and John both pictured here). The reason I say "supposedly" is because I couldn't find Navarro's tweet, maybe because he
tweets so often, but more likely is that the Chili Peppers' people asked him to delete the post because they haven't announced anything yet. This is according to an unofficial Chili Peppers site,
Stadium Arcadium (which is much better than their
official one).
Josh Klinghoffer seems to be a great choice: he has toured with the Chili Peppers as an extra guitarist, he collaborated with Frusciante on one of John's many solo projects, and has also worked with
Gnarls Barkley,
PJ Harvey and
Beck. Hopefully this works out better than the last time they had to replace Frusciante. Anyway, I guess some people will see the new version of the band later this month: they are scheduled to perform at the
MusicCares Person Of The Year concert, which pays tribute to Neil Young.
