Guitarist John Frusciante has quit the Red Hot Chili Peppers, confirming the news on his MySpace:

“To put it simply, my musical interests have led me in a different direction. I really love the band and what we did. Over the last 12 years, I have changed, as a person and artist, to such a degree that to do further work along the lines I did with the band would be to go against my own nature.

“There was no choice involved in this decision. I simply have to be what I am, and have to do what I must do.├óΓé¼┬¥

Frusciante previously left the band back in 1992 but returned for the Chili Peppers’ latest albums Californication, By The Way and Stadium Arcadium. The band is working on their next album without Frusciante.

Best of luck to him!
