Dave Navarro on John’s departure from RHCP

"Like a lot of the die hard fans I am sorry to see him go. John has been a source of magic for that band that hasn’t been there in any incarnation since Hillel. Still, I understand that as an artist there might be different places he wants to go creatively and I look forward to those efforts. I am also a huge fan of Josh Kilnghoffer and look forward to what he will bring. We still get the band with a new artist who will step into the light and we will still hear from John. Not the worst deal in the world."
