Red Hot Chili Peppers: Guitarist Jack Sherman dies at age 64

Jack Sherman, the guitarist who appeared on the debut album of the American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers, has died at the age of 64.

“He was a unique guy and we thank him for all the good, bad and in between. Peace on the boogie platform,” read a tweet on the group’s official account.

Sherman, who joined the band on their first American tour in 1984, also wrote songs together for their second album.

The cause of his death has not yet been revealed.

“We of the RHCP family would like to wish Jack Sherman a smooth sailing in the worlds beyond, because he’s over, “the band wrote on social media.

Sherman replaced Hillel Slovak, guitarist and founder of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, in December 1983. Slovakia returned to the band in 1985.

However, Sherman continued to work on the future albums of The Abbey Road EP and Mother’s Milk, and also worked with other leading artists, including Bob Dylan and George Clinton.

Sherman was not recorded when other Red Hot Chili Peppers band members were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. He later criticized the decision, telling Billboard magazine that he had asked to be recorded and felt ‘. dishonest ‘.

“It’s very painful to see all this celebration and be excluded,” he said.
