Josh Adam Klinghoffer (born October 3, 1979) is an American musician best known for being the guitarist for the rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers from 2009 to 2019, with whom he recorded two studio albums, I'm with You (2011) and The Getaway (2016), and the b-sides compilation I'm Beside You (2013). Klinghoffer took the place of his friend and frequent collaborator John Frusciante in 2009, after a period as a touring member. Klinghoffer was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 2012, becoming the Hall of Fame's youngest-ever living inductee at the time, at age 32, passing Stevie Wonder, who was 38 when he was inducted. In 2020, Klinghoffer was set to join Pearl Jam in a touring and session capacity, performing guitar, additional percussion and backing vocals on their tour in support of Gigaton (2020), which was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, he joined Pearl Jam's frontman Eddie Vedder in the production of his solo album Earthling (2022) and subsecuent live performances. That same year, he performed additional guitar with Jane's Addiction, assisting Troy Van Leeuwen in filling-in for the band's absent guitarist Dave Navarro, and will take Troy's place in 2023 in performances. A multi-instrumentalist, Klinghoffer fronts the alternative rock band Dot Hacker. He is also a former member of the bands Ataxia, Warpaint and The Bicycle Thief. He has both recorded and toured as a session musician with notable artists including PJ Harvey, Beck, the Butthole Surfers, Vincent Gallo, Sparks, Golden Shoulders and Cate Le Bon. Aditionally, Klinghoffer releases solo materials under the pseudonym of Pluralone, originally a working title for the group Dot Hacker. He has released three solo albums, To Be One with You (2019), I Don't Feel Well (2020) and This Is the Show (2022) plus multiple non-album singles and b-sides.
