Red Hot Chili Peppers Pay Tribute to Ric Ocasek with Cover of ‘Just What I Needed’
Red Hot Chili Peppers dropped a cover into their set during their September 22 show in Singapore that served as a tribute to the late Ric Ocasek.
The Chili Peppers served up a fun cover of The Cars‘ “Just What I Needed” that sounds exactly how you’d think a Chili Peppers cover of a Cars song would sound like.
Ocasek passed away on September 15 as the result of heart disease.
