John Anthony Frusciante is an American musician who is the guitarist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers across three stints. He has released over a dozen solo albums and 9 EPs, ranging in style from acoustic guitar to electronic music. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Chili Peppers in 2012. Rolling Stone named Frusciante among the greatest guitarists of all time. Frusciante joined the Chili Peppers at the age of 18 after the death of the guitarist Hillel Slovak, and first appeared on their album Mother's Milk. His second album with the band, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, was their breakthrough success. Overwhelmed by the popularity, he quit in 1992. He became a recluse and entered a period of heroin addiction, during which he released his first solo recordings: Niandra LaDes and Usually Just a T-Shirt and Smile from the Streets You Hold. In 1998, he completed drug rehabilitation and rejoined the Chili Peppers, taking them to major success with their albums Californication, By the Way and Stadium Arcadium. Frusciante left the Chili Peppers again in 2009 and rejoined them in 2019, recording the albums Unlimited Love and Return of the Dream Canteen.
