Here’s a taste of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ second and upcoming album in 2022, Return of the Dream Canteen, which will be released October 14th.
They just released a song called “Eddie,” which is a tribute to Eddie Van Halen.
Frontman Anthony Kiedis said in a recent statement:
“Sometimes we don’t realize how deeply affected and connected we are to artists until the day they die. Eddie Van Halen was a one of a kind.”
“The day after his death Flea came into rehearsal with an emotional bassline. John, Chad and I started playing along and pretty soon with all our hearts, a song in his honor effortlessly unfolded. It felt good to be sad and care so much about a person who had given so much to our lives. Although the song doesn’t speak to Eddie by name, it talks about his early days on the Sunset Strip and the rock n roll tapestry that Van Halen painted on our minds. In the end, our song asks that you not remember Eddie for dying but for living his wildest dream.”
