Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis Has Heartbreaking News

Publish date: 2024-05-05

Anthony Kiedis made his mark on the music industry as the frontman and vocalist for the rock band the Red Hot Chili Peppers. And even with most of the band's popularity being from the 1980s and the 1990s, its fans are loyal to this day. Unfortunately for Anthony and his family, along with some extremely loyal fans, there's been some bad news recently.

Anthony's father, John Michael Kiedis, passed away from complications caused by dementia, reported Rock Celebrities. John often went by his stage name, Blackie Dammett, and was a semi-prominent actor from the late 1970s to the early 1990s. John had roles in popular TV shows and movies including "Starsky and Hutch," "Magnum P.I.," "Night Court," and "Lethal Weapon," according to IMDb.

The former actor and early supporter of his son's work with the Red Hot Chili Peppers will surely be missed. Fans even made a video tribute to him on YouTube. If it wasn't for John's support and influence on his son, then the band that's loved today may not have come to fruition.
