Kiedis said: “I did want to thank the sassy mistress known as MTV for supporting us for 1,000 years and more. But really, really, really I want to thank Flea and John and Chad Smith… for giving me a purpose in my life for the last 40 years. I would’ve been a free-floating disaster in space if not for these boys, so thank you boys for giving me something to do with my life and love.”

Subsequently, thanking his bandmates and family, Flea clearly indicated his love for “cockroaches and dirt and trees and every human being,” at the time Kiedis said Frusciante would convey his message “with his smile. That’s what he’s got to say, it’s his smile,” said Kiedis. “And his guitar playing and his just sweet nature. We love him.”

MTV posted an announcement on Twitter, shortly following the segment which read, “Join the @foofighters & the Hawkins family as they present The Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert — a live global music event honoring the life & music of rock legend, Taylor Hawkins.
