Klinghoffer to replace Frusciante in RHCP
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 4 January 2010
Josh Klinghoffer will replace John Frusciante as guitarist in the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Though that had already been mooted, Klinghoffer reportedly confirmed the news to RHCP fansite Stadium-Arcadium.com on Saturday.
Klinghoffer, who has toured with RHCP, was suggested as a replacement for Frusciante when the latter announced he was quitting the band for a second time last month. As well as playing in a session musician capacity with numerous bands, including RHCP, Klinghoffer also collaborated with Frusciante in the experimental outfit Ataxia.
