Don’t know who took this pic, but it’s of @Flea333 in 1981. We were headlining Reseda Country Club and a naked bloke - who turned out to be Flea pre-@ChiliPeppers' first album - jumped out of crowd and grabbed me. It was really funny. All of us broke up laughing mid song - Jon

It’s fantastic to be able to perform again with Sara Lee, a music legend. She last recorded and toured as a lynchpin band member in the 80’s. But when we met again after so long it was as if it had just been a moment in time. A great friend and a wonderful musician.

We like to rehearse this song in quite a restrained way so it’s more fun when we actually play it at a festival. Strangely, no one thinks it’s odd to smash up an old microwave. What live song do you want to see next?. New single Lucky - arriving first week of March
