Red Hot Chili Peppers fans in Los Angeles will have to wait a little longer to see the rockers take the stage.
The group was slated to perform at the Kia Forum on Saturday, December 9 as a part of the 32nd annual KROQ “Almost Acoustic Christmas” gig, however, the band took to social media to share that they will no longer be able to attend due to a band member’s injury.
“It is with deep regret that we will not be able to perform this weekend at KROQ’s Almost Acoustic Christmas,” the Red Hot Chili Peppers said in a statement. “A band member was injured, preventing us from being able to perform for at least 6 weeks.”
The RHCP are making it up to fans, however, for the newly-announced show, dubbed “Almost Acoustic Christmas Encore” on March 2, 2024. Fans are encouraged to hold onto their tickets, as they will be honored at the new show date.
While the band did not specify the nature of the injury — or which band member was injured — they noted that they are “excited to make it up to you” alongside KROQ.
