Red Hot Chili Peppers' frontman Anthony Kiedis says he lost his virginity when he was 12 - to his father's girlfriend.
Kiedis reveals in a new autobiography that his father, a one time Hollywood cocaine dealer called Blackie Dammet, was always bringing home new girlfriends.
The singer's ghostwriter, Larry 'Ratso' Sloman, told the New York Post: 'His girlfriends were always young, hot girls.
'One night, when Anthony was 12, he went with his father to the Rainbow Room and Blackie's girlfriend is there dancing for him.
'And Anthony asks: 'Dad, can I have my first sexual experience with your girlfriend?' And Blackie says: 'Sure, son!'
'So they go back to the house, and his dad builds a big bed out of four mattresses in his room and puts the girl in next to him. And that's how he loses his virginity.'
Kiedis' father is now a reformed character and today runs the Peppers' fan club.
The singer will celebrate the US publication of his book titled Scar Tissue, on Hyperion Books, with a performance by his band at New York's Cutting Room tomorrow.
