The Red Hot Chili Peppers have been forced to postpone the start of their upcoming U.S. tour in order for frontman Anthony Kiedis to recover from multiple foot injuries.
On Sunday (January 8), the singer was seen hobbling and on crutches at a L.A. Lakers basketball game. Kiedis has suffered ongoing problems with foot fractures dating back to the Chili Peppers’ 2006 Stadium Arcadium tour. In August of 2011, he said, “I stayed out on tour with broken bones in my feet from jumping off the bass drum, which is kind of agonizing, and it led to me being in a bad state of mind.”
Kiedis recently underwent surgery to remove a crushed sesamoid bone and to correct a detached flexor tendon in his foot. He is expected to make a full recovery.
Tickets for the postponed dates will be honored at the rescheduled dates. The band is touring in support of their Grammy-nominated album, I’m With You.
