The ceremony comes one day before the release of the band’s first studio album since 2016, “Unlimited Love,” its first recording with Frusciante since 2006.
A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was unveiled on Thursday, March 31 honoring the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the latest honor for the band inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 and the recipient of six Grammys. All four members of the band — lead vocalist Anthony Kiedis, bassist Flea, drummer Chad Smith and guitarist John Frusciante — spoke at the ceremony in front of Amoeba Music where they will give the first music performance at its new Hollywood location next Thursday. Emmy-winning actor Woody Harrelson, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame funk singer George Clinton and singer turned chemical dependency counselor Bob Forrest also spoke.
