John Frusciante recently opened up about his mindset right before he left Red Hot Chili Peppers in 2009.
“I became quite off-balance mentally those last couple of years we toured,” Frusciante told Classic Rock. “As the tour went on, I got deep into the occult, which became a way of escaping the mindset of tour life.”
“The occult tends to magnify whatever you are, and I was an imbalanced mess,” he added.
Of course, things eventually worked out with Frusciante returning to the band in 2019.
