Chili Peppers reschedule Japanese tour

American rockers Red Hot Chili Peppers have rescheduled their two Japanese concerts after they were forced to cancel the gigs last week.

The Californication group pulled dates in Osaka's Kyocera Dome and the Tokyo Dome when frontman Anthony Kiedis was struck down with bronchial pneumonia and banned from flying for 10 days.

The band have now confirmed they will perform for Japanese fans on 5, 6, and 8 June.
