Current Pearl Jam touring guitarist Josh Klinghoffer said in an interview with Guitar World if he still talks with Red Hot Chili Peppers members. The musician was the group’s guitarist from 2009 to 2019, when the band announced the return of their classic guitarist John Frusciante.
Josh Klinghoffer says if he still talks with Red Hot Chili Peppers members:
“Yeah, I have – in different amounts with different guys. I hadn’t seen Anthony [Kiedis] until the other day – I ran into him at Chad Smith’s birthday. But we text. I play Fantasy Basketball with Flea – he and I are in contact often. And then I’ve had the good fortune of just continuing to work with Chad a lot in the last two years – doing some records, and recording a lot with Andrew Watt.”
Josh Klinghoffer was announced by a representative for Pearl Jam back in September as Pearl Jam’s new touring guitarist. He also played on Eddie Vedder’s upcoming solo album, Earthling.
