The band has two major commemorative releases in the pipeline. A standard
expanded reissue edition, available in various formats including a behemoth

Peppers drummer Chad Smith, Robert Trujillo, Miley Cyrus, Elton John, Phoebe Bridgers, Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan, My Morning Jacket, Mickey Guyton, Chris Stapleton, Darius Rucker, Dermot Kennedy, Mon Laferte, Igor Levit, PG Roxette, and Tresor.
