Josh Klinghoffer confirms he is the new RHCP guitarist



We can apparently put another rumor to rest. Musicradar reports that Josh Klinghoffer, the alleged new guitarist for Red Hot Chili Peppers, has confirmed that he is the new funky axeman for the band.

Klinghoffer’s name came up in blog posts all over the interwebs after it was announced that John Frusciante was quitting RHCP and he was the replacement. The alleging has been made fact since Klinghoffer emailed the guy who ran his personal website saying that he was indeed the newest member of the Peppers.

Klinghoffer is no stranger to RHCP’s muzak. He was the auxiliary guitarist during the band’s Stadium Arcadium tour. So it looks like we’ll have to wait until January 29th for him to make his debut when the band plays a show in honor of Neil Young for the MusiCares tribute show.
