Anthony Kiedis (born November 1, 1962 in Grand Rapids, Michigan) is an American singer. He is the lead singer of the rock band the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
He has been in the band since the start in 1983. He is known for his fast rapping, but in more recent albums he has leaned toward singing. Anthony is and was one of most popular rockers and frontmen, but with singing he has had a lot of problems, until the Californication album when he felt that he could control his voice well.
His singing ability has greatly improved over the years, reaching its peak on Stadium Arcadium. He released a memoir book called Scar Tissue in 2004 which sold a lot of copies, getting to number 17 in the best sellers list.
Kiedis was with Heather Christie who is also the mother to his son Everly Bear Kiedis. He lives with his son in Malibu, California.
