“I regretted the book a little as it caused some pain. But then, I started to see the long-term positive impact. People read it in hospitals, prisons and schools and it had a positive effect.” the Red Hot Chili Peppers singer said in an interview with The Sun newspaper in 2016.
“I realized that the whole point of writing this book was not about me, but to show that someone can go all the way down and come back and have a productive, successful happy interesting life. And so whatever shame or pain or difficulty or discomfort I went through was worth it because I have so many people coming up to me saying their kids read it and they bounced back because of it.”
The Chili Peppers’ ‘Unlimited Love Tour’ continues on May 28th in Ridgefield, Washington and includes shows in Salt Lake City, Toronto, Buffalo before wrapping up in St. Louis on July 30th. Kid Cudi, Ice Cube, Ken Carson, Otoboke Beaver, Seun Kuti & Egypt80, Wand and IRONTOM will be special guests.
