Rock and Roll hall of fame 2012
Here's the official statement from Rock and Roll Hall of Fame:
2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees
The founding members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers have already reacted to the news - Flea on his blog and Anthony Kiedis in an interview, and while Flea mentioned John by himself, Kiedis was asked about him by the interviewer.
Flea, on his redhotchilipeppers.com blog:
It also makes me think of something I think of everyday anyways. Of John Frusciante, the virtuoso musician and songwriter who gave so much to our band. Without him, we would not be going to the hall of fame. He wrote countless great things with us, played an infinite amount of stunning things, and taught us how to be a great band. He helped lift us to a much higher level, he is the greatest. We connected deeply for many years, and he left our band with many gifts.
Make sure you read the entire entry, Hall of Faaaaaameeee.
Anthony Kiedis, for Rolling Stone:
Do you think that John Frusciante will come to the induction?
Ummm... Wow. It would be a guess on my behalf on whether or not he'll come. I can't imagine that he would, but it's a "you never know" kind of thing. I haven't talked to him in quite a while. I don't know where he's at these days. He'll obviously be more than welcome, and embraced if he does. If he doesn't, that's cool too.
Make sure you read the entire interview, Anthony Kiedis on Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction: 'My Dad Cried When I Told Him'
If you're interested in going to Cleveland to see the induction on April 14th 2012, the tickets for the ceremony are 50 and 100$ each and you can find more information here.

John should come for old time sake...but John is in his world doing his things now...my oppinion is he wanted to get away with all the fame and Celebrity/Rock Star industry and concentrate on what he does best...being musician...but again who knows. But I doubt very seriously John will attend.
Have to agree with Flea on this- RHCP would have been lost without John these past many years. But the Fru will do what he wants regarding coming to the ceremony or not. I will not think much of Josh if he takes the stage on the night, though, as he had absolutely nothing to do with the achievement.
It's great, but honestly the Rock and Roll hall of fame is a bit of a joke.
I think the most interesting thing about all of this is the reaction Anthony gave when asked about John. With that reaction, and with Josh saying in a recent interview that he doubts he will ever play with john again (http://thechilisource.com/2011/12/rhcp-italian-interview-6th-december/) It really makes me wonder how everything went down between all of them.
I don't think he'll show up. And Flea has always had sweet things to say about John. I disagree slightly about Josh's involvement. He and John have been strong influences on each other (obviously) so in a roundabout way he may have a smidgen of something to do with their later recordings. Either way though, congrats to ALL inductees.
I would love it if John went because like Flea said without him RHCP wouldn't be getting put in the Hall of Fame! Deep down I think he won't go which is a shame but he's clearly not in that place anymore and has moved on. I wouldn't mind of Josh played with them there because he is the best replacement for John and is part of the band now and is doing a great job. I would also love to see them play with Jack Irons again since he was the original drummer, we will just have to wait till April to see what happens! All in all i'm proud of the band for getting into the Hall of Fame becuase they deserve it.
Flea's word were absolutely great! We can see he really loves John and doesn't have any kind of problem! Well, I think John must be there, I mean, he worked hard with the chilis more than 10 years and gave to the band a important legacy! This achievement is for more than 20 years of work, and Josh's just started with the guys officialy in this yeat! But well, nothing would make me more happy than see all the guys together!
In my opinion, I think that there is a small chance that John will not make an appearance at the induction. Something about the nature of that event makes it seem like John would avoid it. Too Hollywood for him. BUT, if Flea asks him to go, then I think he will go and perform. It would be such a dream to see him perform with them again, even if it is only for one song.
I wonder who will induct them?
I wanna go I wanna go.
If John shows up all hell will break loose. Please, just one last intro jam!!!
That link to the Italian interview didn't work. After some searching I found this Italian interview, dated December 6th, 2011...same one? If so, I don't see anywhere where Josh says anything about not ever playing with John again.
I'd say it's almost entirely unlikely that John will attend...which sucks.
Here's the interview:
