Red Hot Chili Peppers delay tour
Wednesday, January 11, 2012 – Red Hot Chili Peppers postponed the start of their upcoming U.S. tour due to multiple foot injuries sustained by lead singer Anthony Kiedis.
The tour was slated to start Jan. 20 in Sunrise, Fla. and now will start March 29 in St. Petersburg, Fla. Some dates were pushed back into late October.
Kiedis 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. The band is touring in support of current Grammy-nominated album "I'm With You."
