Earlier this year, the Red Hot Chili Peppers had to postpone their U.S. tour due to lead singer Anthony Kiedis needing to undergo surgery to repair multiple foot injuries. In a recent interview with The New York Times, Kiedis explained how he injured himself. “There’s this weird bone that’s kind of in the ball of your foot, which I had broken in two on our Stadium Arcadium tour from jumping off of [drummer] Chad [Smith]’s drums night after night,” revealed Kiedis. “It never healed. It finally reached a breaking point on tour in 2011 while I was sprinting after [bassist] Flea in a heated game of toilet tag, and something snapped in my foot.”
For those of you unaware of the toilet tag game, Keidis said that “it’s like tag, but if you get caught, you have to put your arm up, and someone can free you by flushing your arm.”
In other Chili Peppers news, the band will kick off its tour to promote the recent album "I’m With You" on March 29 at St. Pete Times Forum in St. Petersburg, FL.
