RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS - Josh Klinghoffer Confirmed As New Guitarist?
January 4, 2010, 14 years ago
According to Musicradar.com, Josh Klinghoffer is the new guitarist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He replaces John Frusciante, who quietly quit the band over a year ago.
Confirmation of Klinghoffer joining the group comes from the guitarist himself, who emailed the previous owner of his website to state that yes, he is now indeed a Pepper.
On December 13, 2009, MusicRadar broke the news that the Klinghoffer was working with the Chili Peppers, and three days later John Frusciante made his exit from the band official in a statement on his website.
Somewhat surprisingly, the band themselves have yet to issue any kind of formal statement about either Frusciante or Klinghoffer. But with their scheduled appearance at the 2010 MusicCares Person Of The Year tribute to Neil Young just weeks away, expect an announcement soon.
