Red Hot Chili Peppers also recalling touring with Nirvana and witnessing the band’s beautifully “combustible” dynamic.
Additionally, Chad Smith spoke about his long-running friendship with Taylor Hawkins.
“I love Taylor. He was one of my best friends,” said Smith. “We’re still shocked and so saddened by his passing,” he added.
“And he loved life and was a real beacon and full of positive energy. I’m gonna miss him so much,” said Chad Smith.
“We spent a lot of time together. I love his family and just trying to be there for him … and the outpouring from everywhere, not only musicians, but people [from] all walks of life showed how much he was so loved.”
