Following the release of their critically acclaimed new album Unlimited Love, Red Hot Chili Peppers kicked off their global stadium tour last month in Europe, with stops in London, Paris, Dublin, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and many more. The tour will see the return of guitarist and all-around musician John Frusciante to the band, who performed their career-spanning hits alongside tracks from their new album, their first recording with Frusciante since 2006.
The album was met with a lot of love from fans and debuted at number one around the world. Following the success of Unlimited Love, Red Hot Chili Peppers' second album of 2022, Return Of The Dream Canteen, will be released on Friday, October 14.
The album was preceded by the singles Tippa My Tongue and Eddie, the latter of which is a tribute to the late Eddie Van Halen.
Meanwhile, Post Malone's last album, Twelve Carat Toothache, was released in June.
Malone is currently on tour in the United States and was forced to cancel a show in Boston on September 24 after experiencing excruciating pain. Malone had previously fallen into a hole in the middle of the stage, injuring his ribs, during a show in St. Louis the week before.
Following his hospitalization, Malone resumed his tour on September 27 with a show in Cleveland, Ohio, with the run scheduled to continue through October and November.
Red Hot Chili Peppers have sound tracked successive generations as not only one of the bestselling acts in music history, but also one of the world's most popular streaming rock bands today. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012, the Grammy-winning Los Angeles quartet has sold 80 million albums, generated five billion YouTube views, and amassed 22 billion Spotify streams, with an average of 21 million monthly listeners on the platform.
