Sounds like a marriage made in heaven. According to reports, Red Hot Chili Peppers, who release new album 'Stadium Arcadium' on 8 May, are planning to tour in the US with Kanye West later in the year, following the band's European dates this summer.
Bassist Flea told MTV: "I think we'll be doing some legs with Kanye, but I don't know if that's confirmed yet or not. I think we're going to do a month or two with him. I think it's going to happen, and I hope it happens. He's a great artist - and we always try to get the best people to play with that we can."
On the new LP he added: "It's the best record we've ever made. I feel so important to share this album with the world. Making this record, I just feel like each one of us was at the best that we could be. This 'Stadium Arcadium', this is our grand statement - this is the best that we can do. This is the best we're capable of. If you don't like this, you don't like the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Period."
