Flea Playing the National Anthem at Lakers Game

Flea played the America national anthem at a LA Lakers game last night too- a busy night! He played a bass only rendition before Kobe Bryant’s final game for the LA Lakers.

UPDATE:
Here’s a short clip of Flea talking about Kobe prior to playing:

Update 2! There has been some criticism of Flea’s performance of the national anthem. Flea responded:

“I don’t care, man. I know that people who like music liked it. I thought it was beautiful. I really don’t have any concern for little small minds that get frustrated when they get blown. I like the big minds.”

The Red Hot Chili Peppers played at last night’s (April 13, 2016) gala at the Sean Parker and The Parker Foundation Launch for The Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy Gala in Los Angeles. Apparently they played Can’t stop, Otherside, Californication and By The Way.
