Following the cancellation of two shows back in May, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Anthony Kiedis denies his recent hospitalization was because of drug relapse.
The RHCP frontman has had a past history of drug abuse but he claims he has managed to stay clean.
According to NME, Kiedis told Australian TV show Sunday Night: “I got a lot of messages in the mail; it just seemed like people did care. My friends called, people I hadn’t spoken to for years called, but what people assume or think about using (drugs), I could care less. It didn’t faze me at all.”
He added, “I happen to love being sober, I also loved being wasted at times. Being sober for me is a pleasure, I get a lot of joy out of it; it works for me. I get to surf, I get to hang out with my son, I get to play music, I get to be OK.”
