Red Hot Chili Peppers 2012 Tour - Frontman Anthony Kiedis' foot injury has forced the Red Hot Chili Peppers to postpone the start of their upcoming U.S. tour, the band announced Wednesday.
The tour in support of their Grammy-nominated album “I'm With You” was originally scheduled to kick off Jan. 20 in Sunrise, Fla., but has been pushed back to March after Kiedis injured his foot. The Chili Pepper recently underwent surgery to remove a crushed sesamoid bone and correct a detached tendon in his foot. He is expected to make a full recovery.
All the dates have been pushed back, some as far as eight months, as the band had a lengthy European leg already scheduled for summer and fall. The band's Feb. 26-27 dates at Staples Center, which were sold out, have been moved to Aug. 11-12.
