Red Hot Chili Peppers announce they are working on new music

The Californian funk rockers RHCP have delighted fans with the announcement that they will begin work on an upcoming album. Frontman Kiedis told the NY Post at New York fashion week that the group would be heading into the studio within the next two weeks

This will be their twelfth studio album and will follow up 2016's The Getaway which was produced by Danger Mouse who replaced Rick Rubin, the bands main producer, for nearly 25 years. Kiedis didn't give away much about the album, but assured fans that his glorious moustache wouldn't be going anywhere.

It will be their third album with guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, who replaced longtime guitarist John Frusciante in 2009.
