Chilis Catch Fire

“These are some of the best shows we’ve ever done,” says Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea.”We’re fucking shit up!” The Chilis’ world tour (singer Anthony Kiedis and drummer Chad Smith shown performing in Turin, Italy, in December) hits the U.S. this month – and on April 14th, they join the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. “Because we’re in such an exciting place right now,” says Flea, “getting acknowledged for our career has a lot of meaning.”

For the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the induction is a chance to celebrate original guitarist Hillel Slovak, who died of a drug overdose in 1988. “He’s a beautiful person that picked up a guitar in the 1970s and didn’t make it out of the 1980s.” says Anthony Kiedis. “Now he’s being honored for his beauty.”
