Bass guitarist and founding member of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Michael Balzary, better known as Flea, has signed a deal with Grand Central Publishing to publish an autobiography about his three decade career with RHCP.
The bassist is now ready to tell his story and, according to a press release by Time, the autobiography will consist of, “His move from a “normal” upbringing in the suburbs of New York to Los Angeles to live a bohemian life with a jazz musician step-father; his young, rebellious life on the streets of LA where he befriends Anthony Kiedis and founds the Red Hot Chili Peppers with Kiedis and two other high school friends; details about his sometimes complex friendship and collaboration with Kiedis; his myriad experiences with hard drugs; and, of course, the tumultuous creative journey of the legendary Red Hot Chili Peppers through its various incarnations over the last 30 years, according to Flea.”
So far a title nor release date has been announced, and with RHCP’s busy schedule, it may be some time before the memoir is released.
