Singer Anthony Kiedis was reportedly hospitalized Saturday night, forcing the Red Hot Chili Peppers to cancel a concert in Irvine, California.
The band was set to play KROQ's Weenie Roast event at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre. A cell phone video taken by someone in the audience showed bassist Flea telling the crowd they were "unable to play this evening" because Kiedis, 53, was "on his way to the hospital right now."
"We are devastated about it, we're really sad, we love you so much," Flea said.
"Unfortunately, there's a medical thing that happened and he needed to deal with it," Flea said in the cell phone video.
Drummer Chad Smith tweeted late Saturday he was hoping for his bandmate's "speedy recovery" but did not elaborate on what happened.
