Red Hot Chili Peppers to rock Tel Aviv

They were at the peak of their fame in 2001 when they pulled out of a scheduled performance in the wake of two suicide bombings in one week. One of the attacks, at the Sbarro pizza restaurant in central Jerusalem, saw 15 people killed; the second, in Haifa, killed 20.

Two of the band's albums were recorded with guitarist Hillel Slovak, who was born in Haifa and whose mother was a Holocaust survivor. He died of a heroin overdose in 1988 as the band began making its name.
