Red Hot Chili Peppers honor their late friend Brendan Mullen by taking part in a jazz funeral procession in the video for their new single ‘Brendan’s Death Song,’. The Marc Klasfield-directed clip, shot in New Orleans, opens with the
four members of the band leading a group of mourners through the
streets while playing their instruments and singing their latest single,
‘Brendan’s Death Song.’ Mullen was the founder of the late ’70s punk club the Masque, and was
responsible for giving the Chili Peppers their first gig in 1983 opening
for Bad Brains. Flea stated in an interview
that having Mullen, who was well known in the Hollywood scene, give
them their show was a huge sign of acceptance that gave them the
confidence to continue their career. At the time of his death, Mullen
was working with the band on their ‘An Oral/Visual History’ book.
