Nuevo guitarrista oficial: Josh Klinghoffer

En diferentes medios ya se confirmó la noticia del nuevo guitarrista de los Chili Peppers. Josh Klinghoffer, reemplazará a John Frusciante. Josh estuvo tocando como segunda guitarra en los últimos conciertos de la banda en el 2007. Aparte ha colaborado en la mayoría de álbumes de John Frusciante como solista, y formó con este último la banda con dos álbumes, Ataxia.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers have chosen the man to replace guitarist John Frusciante. Who is he? Read on… The man is 30-year-old Josh Klinghoffer, who was previously a member of experimental band Ataxia, where he played drums. The guitarist in that band was… Frusciante! Klinghoffer has worked for several years in Los Angeles as both a session musician and also as a producer.

Confirmation of Klinghoffer joining the group comes from the guitarist himself, who emailed the previous owner of his website to state that yes, he is now indeed a Pepper.

On 13 December 2009, MusicRadar broke the news that the Klinghoffer was working with the Chili Peppers, and three days later John Frusciante made his exit from the band official in a statement on his website.

Somewhat surprisingly, the band themselves have yet to issue any kind of formal statement about either Frusciante or Klinghoffer. But with their scheduled appearance at the 2010 MusicCares Person Of The Year tribute to Neil Young just weeks away, we're expecting an announcement soon.
