Anthony talked with MTV about rumors of his heroin use. He stated "...during the last year, I am sorry to say that I have used this narcotic substance..." and "...when I'm using, my life sucks, and when I'm clean my life gets really beautiful, so when I was using my life got really ugly and sad, and now I'm just happy to be back here and not using."
The summer proved risky for some Chili Peppers members. Anthony was injured when his motorcycle hit a car in Los Angeles. He suffered a dislocated wrist which required surgery.
Drummer, Chad Smith dislocated his shoulder from a motorcycle accident in Los Angeles. Smith was treated and released from the hospital.
USA Today reported that the Chili Pepper's publicist Ken Phillips confirmed guitarist Dave Navarro had been "using hard drugs again." After erratic behavior while touring with the reunited Jane's Addiction and a reportedly amorous message in blood to Fiona Apple, rumors of Navarro's sobriety started. Phillips stated: "I wouldn't say he's a drug addict or dying. He says he's experimented, but he doesn't recommend it, and he's not saying he'll never do it again."
In an interview with AllStar, Dave Navarro responded to recent allegations of substance use. He stated: "I don't know how that thing got to the place it did. My side of it was... what I told (a reporter) is that I've been working on a film wherein drug use takes place, and I describe one of those scenes, but I in no way indicated to them that I was in drug rehab, or had a problem or all the stuff that came afterwards in terms of hearsay and press."
It was announced that Dave Navarro had amicably left the Chili Peppers after 4 years as the band's 6th guitarist. Navarro said in a statement: "I will miss the band very much. I know in my heart that the friendships we've established will remain forever eternal." Anthony Kiedis said of the departure: "This is a completely mutual parting based on creative differences." At the end of April it was announced that John Frusciante would return to the Chili Peppers as guitarist to replace Navarro. Frusciante had left the band 6 years ago as the band was hitting it big and getting ready to participate in the 1992 Lollapalooza tour.
Months after a motorcycle accident, Anthony Kiedis filed a lawsuit against the other motorist. Kiedis claims the motorist made an illegal u-turn which caused the accident and resulted in a broken wrist, other undisclosed physical and emotional injuries, and the canceling of several performances.
