 | | If, in the mid-1980s, you had been asked to pick an American band who would be playing stadiums 20 years on, you probably wouldn't have named the Red Hot Chili Peppers. |
 | | The California funksters began their career playing strip clubs with socks covering their genitalia, and since then have gone through an assortment of drummers and guitarists, as well as battling with drug addiction: founder member Hillel Slovak died from a heroin overdose in 1988. |
 | | This batch of stadium dates sold out in a matter of hours, and the Chili Peppers - now abstemious yoga enthusiasts - certainly seem in a position to enjoy their fame. |
