I generally did not want to post this news because I just know some of the comments will be quite bizzare and adding oil to the pan is a concept common to mass media and people who think the news of the day is when some famous girl's bikini top slips for 1 cm...so, this news was posted due to peer pressure from all sides of the world. I kind of don't care what you'll write in comments; but if you're looking for 1992, it's 17 years ago. And some of the things people say will be more bizzare than this paragraph.
So...as per Broadway World:
The fifth annual MusiCares(r) MAP Fund(r) benefit concert will honor multi-GRAMMY(r)-winning Red Hot Chili Peppers co-founder and lead singer Anthony Kiedis, and it will take place for the first time at Club Nokia in Los Angeles on Friday, May 8, 2009. Kiedis will be honored with the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award for his dedication and support of the MusiCares MAP Fund and for his commitment to helping other addicts with the addiction and recovery process. All proceeds will benefit the MusiCares MAP Fund, which provides members of the music community access to addiction recovery treatment regardless of their financial situation.
Hosted by Greg Behrendt, comedian and author of He's Just Not That Into You, the evening will feature a special performance by Kiedis along with Red Hot Chili Peppers bandmates Flea and Chad Smith, as well as performances by Thelonious Monster vocalist and "Celebrity Rehab" participant Bob Forrest with his son Elijah Forrest, musician/producer Josh Klinghoffer, the Mars Volta, the Neville Brothers' Ivan Neville, and Iggy Pop. DJ AM will perform live during dinner. Additional artists will be announced shortly.
The whole article can be read at this address. And yes, there are general admission tickets for mere mortals, for 50$. And the event will be alcohol free.
Also check out RHCP.com and MusiCares.com. Blabbermouth have also covered this news item; and there's a quote from the donee himself, too.
I'm also suggesting you to check out Garfield Minus Garfield and see the interesting dimension things like this tend to achieve. Ummm...yeah.

what are the peppers witout john?
I honestly would like to be wrong in my thinking line...
But these facts makes me wait for the official bad news... I agree totally with Invisible-Movement author:
NOTHING OFFICIAL, just points of view from fans guys like you and me)
"just know some of the comments will be quite bizzare and adding oil to the pan is a concept common to mass media and people who think the news of the day is when some famous girl's bikini top slips for 1 cm" Well we like it or not this will be a weird situation.

Supporting you in your deceicion to post this! thanks
I just hope we will know at least on May 8 what is happening with Frusciante.
But I'm not scare about anything except that I hope that the red hot will continue with or without him and that he will continue at least on his side. I also hope that their relations stay fine.
I hope I don't hurt anybody if I say that I think there is a good thing if the rhcp have another guitarist like Josh for example, because it could bring a change in the rhcp. Maybe JF can't make any other things with them and is even much more better when he's alone.
Or maybe John just has something else that day
Be careful saying josh + rhcp.
I was almost lynch when I said this at the forum
I actually checked out the garfield minus garfield website and I like your sense of humour for suggesting this
After not enjoying a Garfield comic strip without Garfield, I decided to not worry about analog situations regarding the Chili Peppers, at least not before May, 8th *sighs*
this might just be nothing more than john following up what he's said in that french magazine quoted on here recently,he's not interested in being in a band right now and is busy concentrating on his own music.considering chad's touring with chickenfoot this summer i doubt there's going to be any major announcement about the status of the chili peppers til at least autumn/fall this year,if that.
i reckon they're gonna make a comeback sorta mid-2010,maybe playing a few dates before the studio,and toud late2010-2011
a lot of Frusciante's friends will be there... would be great to see him too
I'm sure it's nothing big. john is just concentrating on his own work right now and is busy like people have said on the here. they've come to far to just randomly end it here especially after a good album. Just got tickets so i hope he does a last minute appearance
If flea, many people if not everyone from the mars volta, josh klinghoffer, bob forrest too,
I think john will be there as well. Unless, like others have said, there is a literal time commitment issue, perhaps he has scheduled time with other musicians or a producer on that day.
With a recent artistic accomplishment like The empyrean, I dont think John would take his mind off of the risks he once faced of never having reached the stage of writing and performing those songs!
I think if he cant attend, he has already expressed his thanks to Anthony in private.
I think what's bizarre is the reluctance of people to admit to the likelihood that John has left the band and is not on good terms with Anthony. Seems pretty glaringly obvious to me.
i really don't think we should be worried about that... i mean, if he can't come like patches said he has already expressed his thanks to Anthony. about him not wanting to be in a band right now, i can totally understand him after the last very long SA tour... but that doesn't mean he quit the band, i really think they'll start preparing some new material in mid 2010...
Sounds like denial to me, but I suppose we'll just have to wait and see.
To me, it sounds like all of your comments - including a REALLY inappropriate one that I had to edit in January - are a bit strange. Sorry.
I wasn't aware I'd been censored, but can't imagine what I could have said that would be considered "REALLY inappropriate." it's clear that my opinions differ from those of the fanbase represented here, but I don't believe I've ever been disrespectful, rude, profane, whatever might have accounted for my censorship besides disagreeing with the party line.
I sent you a message to explain, as I probably overreacted here, but I do not think I had overreacted in January.
they're just on an unknown hiatus. they'll get together when they want to play
Although I don't think John has quit the band or is mad at Anthony, I can't help but think something is up. I mean, why wouldn't he at least go to this even honoring his longtime friend? Especially if the band is performing...
All I can say at this point is wait and see. Anything could happen at this particular show, but there is something up, and I do think the writing is on the wall.
I really hope this isn't true, but perhaps John has gone into a period of isolation once again? Considering a lot of John's friends will be there, Josh, Omar etc. it's very unusual that John isn't confirmed. John has said in interviews that he doesn't want to tour for the Empyrean and all he wants to do is be at home and make music, it almost feels like an episode of '92 once again. And all of the Peppers except John have mentioned the future for RHCP, whereas John has said "there is no plan" etc.
Perhaps John's friends were invited purely to get John out of isolation once again because they care for him whether or not he's in the Peppers. I've got a feeling though that RHCP won't tour with John again, and that Josh will take over, whatever happens. If John isn't there I somehow have a feeling that there will be an announcement made regarding him/the status of the band.
