(RALEIGH, NC) – Red Hot Chili Peppers regret to announce that they must postpone the start of their upcoming U.S. tour due to multiple foot injuries sustained by lead singer Anthony Kiedis. Kiedis recently underwent surgery to remove a crushed sesamoid bone and correct a detached flexor tendon in his foot and is expected to make a full recovery.

Tickets for the postponed RBC Center date (January 27, 2012) will be honored at the rescheduled date (April 4, 2012). The band is touring in support of current Grammy-nominated album “I’m With You.”
