Fans have been clamoring to hear new music from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
And while the new album is reportedly in the works, the band faced a setback when their bassist, Flea, suffered from an arm injury.
However, the 53-year-old musician took to his social media page to announce that he is back to playing his bass and jamming with the band.
"Well boys and girls, my busted arm has finally healed to the point where I can play bass proper again," Flea posted. "RHCP back to jamz again next week!!!"
Meanwhile, Red Hot Chili Peppers' frontman, Anthony Kiedis revealed to Rolling Stone that all the songs for their new album are set.
And while the new songs are all ready, Kiedis explained that they refuse to play it live for the fear of the power of the social media and its power to ruin their planned surprise new album release.
"The torture about doing this [show] is that we've been writing new music for the last year, and we've written some songs that I feel are as good as any songs we've ever written," he said. "We're just dying to play the new songs - but we can't, because every single human has a recording device on them at all times."
Meanwhile, the 53-year-old singer also shared his experience on working with famous music producer Danger Mouse.
"He's very good about coming up with super-modern ideas, but he'll also touch on the acoustic guitar in the control room and strip the song down to its acoustic essentials, which is a beautiful place to be," he said.
Meanwhile, in a previous interview with Rolling Stone, Red Hot Chili Pepper's drummer, Chad Smith explained how the new album has been a challenge for the entire band.
"And we wrote a bunch of songs that way," the drummer revealed. "And we're now going to try another method that will be really challenging for us and will bring new, exciting results for the band. We've written and recorded in a way that we've never done before, so the record is going great. We all have high hopes that it's going to take off and we're going to do something very different and unique for the Red Hot Chili Peppers."
