FLEA’S B’DAY

LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES- OCT 16, 2019…HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO FLEA, THE FOUNDING MEMBER AND BASSIST FOR THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS. FLEA FORMED THE GROUP IN 1983 WITH HIS HIGH SCHOOL FRIENDS ANTHONY KIEDIS, HILLEL SLOVAK AND JACK IRONS. TODAY FLEA IS 57 YEARS YOUNG. HE WAS BORN ON THIS DATE IN 1962 IN MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA.

HIS LEGAL NAME IS MICHAEL PETER BALZARY ( NO, HIS PARENTS DIDN’T NAME HIM FLEA)! HE WAS GIVEN THE NAME FLEA BY ANTHONY KIEDIS ON A SKIING TRIP, WHEN KIEDIS NOTICED FLEA’S JUMPY STYLE AND MANNERISMS AND THE NICKNAME STUCK WITH HIM EVER SINCE. FLEA HAS APPEARED ON EVERY RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS ALBUM.

ALWAYS KNOWN FOR HIS OUTRAGEOUS BEHAVIOUR AND PUSHING THE LIMITS, HERE’S FLEA LEAVING NOTHING TO THE IMAGINATION.
