Flea: I almost quit Red Hot Chili Peppers

Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea wanted to quit the band when John Frusciante left.

The 48-year-old bassist admits he had serious doubts about continuing in the American group when the guitarist – who has since been replaced by Josh Klinghoffer - quit for the second time in 2008, but he decided to stay after finding a "profound love" for the funk rockers and lead singer Anthony Kiedis.
