John Frusciante himself has now confirmed via his myspace that he will be leaving the Red Hot Chili Peppers. From the post:
“To put it simply, my musical interests have led me in a different direction. Upon rejoining, and throughout my time in the band, I was very excited about exploring the musical possibilities inherent in a rock band, and doing so with those people in particular. A couple of years ago, I began to feel that same excitement again, but this time it was about making a different kind of music, alone, and being my own engineer.”
There is no word on what he’ll be doing next, but I’m still holding out hope that he and Omar will just hook up permanently and have the supergroup baby that I want them to have.
