John Frusciante has made it official that he is no longer a part of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. John cleared this up on his myspace, posting a note. He is basically just saying how he wants to make his own music, rather than continue with the RHCP. He released a solo album earlier this year called The Empyrean. He feels more invested in his solo work, which is totally cool!
This is a bummer but I guess it is not all that surprising. I got to say, I don’t know if the RHCP can keep it together again without John. I am pretty doubtful about them ever truly getting back together again.
So, RIP until then Chili’s!
Check out a song from The Empyrean below, its a beauty:

He left once before and came back.
I’ve heard rumour about this 2-3 days ago.. I was like ”hope this is not true and that the band or John comes out with an official word” (even I prefer his solo stuff to his later RHCP material.) they were great with him and hopefully it wasn’t over something inane like drugs.
Finally moments come and go.
