RHCP back after 5 years

Los Angeles - The Red Hot Chili Peppers are gearing up to release their first album in five years on August 30, according to the rock band.

I'm With You also marks their first album since guitarist John Frusciante quit for a second time in 2009 and was replaced by Josh Klinghoffer.

As usual, I'm With You was produced by Rick Rubin.

Their previous collaboration, the 2006 double album Stadium Arcadium, debuted at No 1 in 28 countries, including the United States where it went on to sell 2.3 million copies. It also won the Grammy for best rock album.

The only concerts currently scheduled are the band's Hong Kong debut on August 9, a pair of festivals in Japan on August 13 and 14, and the Rock in Rio festival in Rio de Janeiro on September 24.
