UPDATE ON RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS GUITARIST JOSH KLINGHOFFER’S FOOT INJURY

By: 16 August 2012 12 Comments

We reported yesterday that Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Josh Klinghoffer hurt his leg during the band’s first show in Oakland, and it turns out that he has a broken foot and is wearing a boot. The band had a chair onstage for him for their second show in Oakland, but Klinghoffer was able to stand up and play. Klinghoffer was pretty energetic onstage at the Chili Peppers show I attended on Sunday, so Flea will have to be even crazier than usual to make up for it.

Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis broke his foot earlier this year, forcing the band to postpone several tour dates.

    Something tells me that Josh will not be playing with the Chili Peppers much longer…read an article about how they had a little onstage battle between Anthony, Flea, and Josh at Lollapalooza…apparently they got it together for the rest of the show. Now Josh is kicking shit onstage and breaking bones? Hmmm…I bet he’ll be out before Anthony trims that ridiculous ‘stache of his!

    @ Mark

    wtf are you talking about, onstage battle? I watched the lolla concert and have no clue what you’re talking about.

    Mark, you’re an idiot.
    let’s say there was a fight,
    what makes you think that because of one little fight ,They’re going to break a friendship of over ten years? Or break the band? After all they’ve been through?

    mark is just going off an article i read about Lolla that was obviously completley wrong. I too watched the concert as well and saw no such issue.
    if anything they’re super tight, josh played this riff randomly and anthony said; “i don’t know what josh is playing but its beautiful”
    that was no conflict at lolla
