Recently, Flea, the bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, shared his hurt feelings regarding a 25-year-old comment made by Cave, which he described as 'offhand and somewhat uncharitable'.

Cave reflected on this comment, attributing it to a possible Australian trait of his generation, and noted that it has haunted him for years.

In response to a fan's inquiry about his past criticism of the band, Cave revealed his collaboration with Flea and expressed admiration for his music.

Flea, who has a background in trumpet playing, performed on Jane's Addiction's 1988 album and studied music theory at the University of Southern California.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have announced a global live stream of their final 'Wild God Tour' show, with Cave also preparing for a solo tour in Europe in mid-2025.

The band is set to embark on their North American tour starting in April 2025, featuring Radiohead's Colin Greenwood filling in for bassist Martyn Casey.

The story concludes with a message encouraging listeners to appreciate music creators and their journeys, rather than dismissing their work as garbage.

Cave has expressed that performing songs from his album 'Wild God' live is more invigorating than in the studio, describing the live renditions as emotionally epic.

Despite the past comment, Flea expressed admiration for Cave's music, leading to a thoughtful exchange between the two musicians.

Cave shared a story about Flea's bravery during a bear encounter in Yosemite, showcasing his unique and compassionate nature.

On March 12, 2025, Cave recorded his vocals in the studio, creating a beautiful interplay between his voice and Flea's trumpet.

Flea and Cave previously performed together in Los Angeles about a decade ago, playing the song 'We No Who U R.'
