Red Hot Chili Peppers are an American alternative rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1983. For most of their career, the group has consisted of vocalist Anthony Kiedis, guitarist John Frusciante, bassist Michael "Flea" Balzary, and drummer Chad Smith. The band's varied musical style has fused traditional rock with various elements of funk, punk rock, alternative rock, heavy metal, and psychedelic rock.

In addition to Kiedis and Flea, the group originally featured guitarist Hillel Slovak and drummer Jack Irons. After Slovak died of a heroin overdose in 1988, Irons resigned, and was briefly replaced with D. H. Peligro. He soon introduced Flea to Frusciante, at the time only an aspiring guitarist. Drummer Chad Smith was recruited few weeks before the recording of Mother's Milk, the band's fourth album, began.

The band's fifth album, 1991's Blood Sugar Sex Magik, was a critical success and sold over twelve million copies. Frusciante grew increasingly uncomfortable with the band's success and left the group in 1992. The band employed Dave Navarro (of Jane's Addiction) for their subsequent album, 1995's One Hot Minute. It failed, however, to match the critical acclaim of Blood Sugar Sex Magik and was a commercial disappointment, selling less than half as many copies as its predecessor. Shortly after the release, Navarro was fired from the band, due to creative differences with the original members.

Frusciante, while absent from the band, developed a severe drug addiction and nearly died. In 1998 he completed rehabilitation and, at Flea's request, rejoined the band. The reunited foursome returned to the studio to record 1999's Californication, which went on to sell fifteen million units worldwide, becoming their most successful album to date. It was followed three years later with By the Way, an album showcasing the band's more subdued and melodic side. In 2006, the group released the double album Stadium Arcadium. Stadium Arcadium was voted the second best album of 2006 by Rolling Stone magazine and nominated for the Album of the Year Grammy in 2007.
