Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis: 'I'm always getting banged up and hurt'

Anthony Kiedis, of Red Hot Chili Peppers fame, has revealed that stage injuries are common in his world and he's currently suffering from a torn tendon in his ankle

He told Entertainment Tonight Canada that it's part of the job and the more active he is during performances, the more it seems to happen: "I'm always getting banged up, and hurt, and repairing, and recovering, and hurting, and it's just normal. At the moment, I have a torn tendon in my ankle from spinning around night after night, but it'll heal."

Kiedis went onto add that he likes to get nervous before walking out on stage and would feel "lost" if he ever started to get comfortable in that situation: "I'd be a little bit lost without the nerves. I'd want to be borderline ready to throw up from nerves, and then I'm ready to go."
