β οΈ The Disturbing Twist
However, within hours of the rumor spreading, insiders from both camps stepped forward to deny the claims entirely. A representative for the Foo Fighters stated that no official collaboration with Red Hot Chili Peppers has been recorded, announced, or scheduled for release. Similarly, sources close to the Red Hot Chili Peppers emphasized that any studio overlap was purely coincidental β not a joint project.
What disturbed fans even more was the revelation that the misunderstanding came from a misinterpreted quote during a recent interview. A Foo Fighters member casually mentioned βmessing around in the studio with friends,β which fans and small blogs twisted into confirmation of a collaboration. From there, the story spun out of control.
