“I'm, like, sobbing… in tears, because it was so… I mean, he's a poet”: Flea talks collabs and a new Chili Peppers album

Flea on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show, 2026.

Flea’s solo album Honora was released last week and the Chili Pepper has given an interview to Apple 1’s Zane Lowe about it, his recent collaborations and the next Chili Peppers' album.

One of the highlights of the record is a cover of Wichita Lineman with a guesting Nick Cave. “I’ve been a huge fan of his forever,” Flea said. “He always gets right down to it. Initially, it [the track] was going to be an instrumental – I had no plans for anyone to sing on it.”
