Red Hot Chili Peppers on new Netflix series 'We had nothing to do with it creatively"

Red Hot Chili Peppers have now made a post clarifying their lack of direct involvement and creativity .. with a new documentary based upon the band’s early years on Netflix which includes their late guitarist Hillel Slovak. That documentary is called ‘The Rise Of The Red Hot Chili Peppers‘, was directed by Ben Feldman .. and is set to premiere on Netflix on March 20th.

While members of the band participated in interviews for the documentary .... the show does not have direct involvement from the band. ...they posted acollective statement on their social media January 30th, the band posted ...:

“Dear people of the universe,

About a year ago, we were asked to be interviewed for a documentary about Hillel Slovak. He was a founding member of the group, a great guitarist, and friend. We agreed to be interviewed out of love and respect for Hillel and his memory. However, this documentary is now being advertised as a Red Hot Chili Peppers documentary, which it is not. We had nothing to do with it creatively. We have yet to make a Red Hot Chili Peppers documentary. The central subject of this current Netflix special is Hillel Slovak and we hope it sparks interest in him and his work.”

A co-founding member .. Slovak‘s struggles with he roin cost him his life in 1988 at the age of 26. .. it was an accidental overdose in his Los Angeles..
