Frusciante on leaving the RHCP
John Frusciante has posted the following on his MySpace page.
“To put it simply, my musical interests have led me in a different direction. I really love the band and what we did. Over the last 12 years, I have changed, as a person and artist, to such a degree that to do further work along the lines I did with the band would be to go against my own nature. “There was no choice involved in this decision. I simply have to be what I am, and have to do what I must do.”
If you haven’t checked out his most recent solo release, The Empyrean, you should.
