Red Hot Chili Peppers

Red Hot Chili Peppers broke my heart when they announced their hiatus last year, but rocker Chad Smith has denied rumours the band are splitting, insisting they're just enjoying a well earned break.

The California hitmakers announced a year-long hiatus last year, which they've now extended for a further six months, but drummer Smith insists fans shouldn't be alarmed - they are coming back.

He tells Q magazine, "We're not playing right now, but we played a lot before. It was time to take a little break and live your life."

I do hope that’s the truth, because I don’t know what my life would be life if RHCP were gone for good!
