(Classic Rock) Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith admits the band got a scare when Anthony Kiedis was rushed to hospital just before a show last week.
And Smith knows the recent spate of rock musicians' deaths fuelled the concerns of colleagues, family and fans while the singer received attention for intestinal flu.
Two concerts were called off as a result of Kiedis' health problems - but the band are set to return to action in Ohio this weekend. Smith tells Radio X: "His stomach was killing him - it was really scary. We went directly to the hospital. We were really upset we couldn't play for the fans, but also more worried about him."
He adds: "I know everyone's freaked out when they hear about another musician going into the hospital. It's been such a rough year." Read more here.
