Red Hot Chili Peppers' bassist Flea has slammed retirement rumours as "silly talk" after it was speculated the band will call it quits soon.
The "Californication" hitmakers sparked speculation of the demise of the band last week after drummer Chad Smith claimed he didn't know if the band could continue to tour.
But now, 54-year-old bassist Flea - real name Michael Peter Balzary - said the band's split rumours were not true as they very rarely look beyond the immediate future and don't know what's in store for them just yet.
Speaking to TMZ, the "Can't Stop" musician said, "I don't know if you know it, but that's just silly talk. We never really look past the immediate future, but we're on tour right now, we're rocking out, we feel in the spirit, letting the music move us.
"To be honest, since we first started this band 35 years ago, I've never ever known what's next or round the corner or anything. I think the power of the band lies in that - just staying in the moment and the energy that's moving.
