The band was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in April 2012.
Last year, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS welcomed guitarist John Frusciante back after a 10-year absence. Frusciante has played on five of the band’s 11 studio albums, including their most critically and commercially successful LPs “Mother’s Milk” (1989), “Blood Sugar Sex Magik” (1991) and “Californication” (1999).
