Red Hot Chili Peppers Postpone Tour: Kiedis Has Foot Surgery

Today, Red Hot Chili Peppers announced the postponement of their U.S. Tour. Frontman Anthony Kiedis has recently undergone foot surgery to repair the multiple injuries he has sustained. The surgery served to remove a crushed sesamoid bone and corrected a detached flexor tendon in his foot.

Kiedis has dealt with these problems for some time now. After jumping off of a bass drum, he broke bones in his foot in 2007--on the Stadium Arcadium tour.

Here is the full statement from the band's official website:

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.

We wish him a speedy recovery.
