The tour, which followed, had the Red Hot Chili Peppers playing in much larger venues with bands as The Beastie Boys and Faith No More playing support. This album peaked at No. 143 of ‘Billboard Top 150 Album’. They decided to record new album. But before they had to do something with Hillel. His heroin addiction was worsening. A decision was made to left Hillel go after show in Washington. But their support band guitarist Angelo Moore talked Anthony out of it. He reasoned that Hillel needs their friends more than ever. ‘Abbey Road EP’ was released in 1988. Album’s cover included controversial photo of group walking across the same pedestrian crossing, which made Beatles famous, naked with strategically placed sport socks. After four months after release of ‘Abbey Road EP’ on Friday, July 24 Hillel died on drug overdose. His death shook the band to its roots. This seemed as an end of Red Hot Chili Peppers. Anthony entered rehab. A long-time friend of Hillel, Jack Irons quit the band to grieve (later he became a drummer of Pearl Jam). But Anthony and Flea decided to carry on. Flea’s wife gave birth to a little girl called Clara. Anthony and Flea started to rebuilt the band. They found replacements. Hillel was replaced by one of the Chili’s biggest fan – John Frusciante. After the series of auditions Chad Smith was selected to fill Iron’s shoes. During the tour of 1989 Anthony and Flea was charged with sexual battery and of indecent exposure. Their new album ‘Mother’s Milk’ was released in September 1989. Album went gold in few months. The album contained eleven original tracks and covers of Steve Wonder’s ‘Higher Ground’ and Hendrix’s ‘Fire’ on which Hillel featured. The first single ‘Knock Me Down’ was released as a tribute to Hillel. The tour that followed was immense. Stricter routine was kept - no drugs were allowed during the tour. Guys did a huge show in Amsterdam and World media started taking notice. Anthony’s frenzied onstage displays often let him battered. The smash hit ‘Pretty Woman’ included song ‘Show Me Your Soul’ on its soundtrack and the song became a UK Top 30 hit. After commercial success of ‘Mother’s Milk’ they decide to switch the recording company. They switched to Warner Brothers. The band chose ‘Def Jam’ main man Rick Rubin to produce their follow-up album. ‘BloodSugarSexMagik’ was released in 1991. All tracks for this album were recorded live in house, which seemly was haunted. ‘BloodSugarSexMagik’ was colossal smash. It went platinum in few weeks and it stayed in ‘US Billboard’s Chart’ for a year. The band appeared on every major magazine cover including ‘Rolling Stone’.
