John Frusciante [SEP] 2007–2009: Red Hot Chili Peppers departure and "The Empyrean"
Ataxia released its second and final studio album, "AW II" in 2007. Following the "Stadium Arcadium" tour (early May 2006 to late August 2007), the Red Hot Chili Peppers agreed to a hiatus of indefinite length. In early 2008, Anthony Kiedis finally confirmed this, citing exhaustion from constant work since "Californication" as the main reason. Frusciante quit the group on July 29, 2009, but did not publicly announce his departure until December 2009, two months after the band ended their hiatus in October 2009 and began work on their next album with Josh Klinghoffer as their new guitarist. Frusciante's tenth solo album, "The Empyrean", was released on January 20, 2009, through Record Collection.
