The Autobiography of a Flea

Product Information

30Sunday & Bank Holidays: closed Michael joined some bands, fell in love with performing, and honed his skills. At Fairfax High School, he met another social outcast, Anthony Kiedis, who quickly became his soul brother, the yin to his yang, his partner in mischief. Flea, the iconic bassist and co-founder, alongside Anthony Kiedis, of the immortal Red Hot Chili Peppers finally tells his fascinating origin story, complete with all the dizzying highs and the gutter lows you'd expect from an LA street rat turned world-famous rock star. But it wasn't until the night when Anthony, excited after catching a Grandmaster Flash concert, suggested they start their own band that he is handed the magic key to the cosmic kingdom. When Michael's family moved to Los Angeles in 1972, his home situation was rockier than ever. Paperback
