After a lengthy hiatus, Red Hot Chili Peppers are reuniting in October this year.

While ending split reports, drummer Chad Smith insisted he and his bandmates plan to “jam” together for the first time in two years, reports Contactmusic.

Smith tells Billboard.com, “Everybody was like, ”Y”know, I really like having this time off, not being a Chili Pepper and doing other things… It”ll be two years in September, so now we”re ready.

“You can”t force people to play when they don”t want to play or aren”t ready to play or whatever – not in our band, anyway.”
