Red Hot Chili Peppers lead singer Anthony Kiedis has been hospitalised with intestinal flu, this comes after news that Red Hot Chili Peppers had to cancel their appearance at radio station KROQ’s ‘Weenie Roast':

Unfortunately due to illness the @ChiliPeppers were forced to cancel their set tonight at #WeenieRoast. More details to come.

However, considering first reports were simply that Kiedis was suffering from ‘extreme stomach pain’ and that combined with his former pro longed drug use, fans of the band were understandably worried. Yet whilst intestinal flu isn’t exactly a walk in the park, the band have announced that Kiedis is set to make a full and quick recovery:

” Due to Anthony Kiedis’ hospitalization from complications from the intestinal flu on Saturday evening, the Red Hot Chili Peppers regretfully must postpone their upcoming concert for iHeart Radio on May 17th. They would like to extend their gratitude to the fans for the outpouring of well wishes. Anthony is expected to make a full recovery soon.”

KROQ’s Weenie Roast is a concert created by the radio station that occurs annually in May; first created in 1993 ‘Weenie Roast’ has gone on to host some big names, for example last years headliners were: Florence + The Machine, James Bay, Muse, Of Monsters and Men, Vance Joy, X Ambassadors and Panic!
