The Red Hot Chili Peppers have released the following statement:
Red Hot Chili Peppers regret to announce that they must postpone the start of their upcoming U.S. tour due to multiple foot injuries sustained by Anthony Kiedis. Anthony recently underwent surgery to remove a crushed sesamoid bone and correct a detached flexor tendon in his foot and is expected to make a full recovery.
Tickets for the postponed dates will be honored at the rescheduled dates.
The North American tour, to promote the band’s latest album, “I’m With You,” was originally set to start January 20 in Sunrise, Florida, but will now kick off March 29 in Tampa Bay.
