UNDER THE BRIDGE

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF ANTHONY KIEDIS (RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS)
RELEASED BY SONIK MUSIC PUBLICATIONS

"However, I do not regret the recklessness of my youth. I've spent most of my life looking for the quick fix and the biggest treat. I shot drugs under freeway ramps with Mexican gangsters and inside thousand-dollar-a-day hotel suites. I now drink vitamin water and look for free range salmon instead of farmed. For twenty years now, I have had the opportunity to channel my love of music and writing and draw from the universal current of creativity and spirituality, writing and playing our unique sonic blend with my brothers, present and absent, in Red Hot Chili Peppers.

This is an account of those times, but also the story of a kid who was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, moved to Hollywood, and couldn't handle what he found at the end of the rainbow. It's my story, with the scars and everything." Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis shares his experiences in his autobiography, "Under the Bridge." With the difference, that we are not dealing with a common autobiography, describing the days of a rock star, as we know them through the long presence of Kiedis, as the singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. In "Under the Bridge" he tells in detail his life, behind the lights of the stage, from the moment he started traveling with drugs at the age of 12, until today. He talks about how, with the help of his father, he finally managed to penetrate the Hollywood elite and how he ended up doing drugs at the Rainbow Room on the Sunset Strip before he was even a teenager, alongside Keith Moon, Alice Cooper and Led Zeppelin. He talks about how he managed to turn his relationship with drugs into a passion for art and creation. When he started writing "Under the Bridge", Anthony surprised himself and his friends with the details he remembered from all these years.
Anthony's story through the pages of "Under the Bridge" differs from many others published so far, for many artists. "Under the Bridge" is a candid and entertaining narrative, full of surprises, musical references, but above all a very interesting and true life journey of a man in Hollywood, just like we could not have imagined. "Under the Bridge" will be released at the end of March by SONIK Music Publications Foreign Press wrote about "Under the Bridge": ""Under the Bridge" is much more than a typical rock biography, as Anthony Kiedis is no ordinary classic rock star.

This is a compelling story of loyalty and corruption, intrigue and dignity, recklessness and redemption.” Amazon.com “Most rock autobiographies are boring and slow. On the contrary, Kiedis's autobiography is not. "Under the Bridge" is a thoughtful, honest and entertaining autobiography." GQ “Kiedis's narrative is vivid and inspiring” Newsweek
