Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea has responded to reports that he and his bandmates' instruments were not plugged in during their Super Bowl performance with Bruno Mars last Sunday.
In a post on the band's website, Flea noted that the band was aware from the beginning that everything but the vocals would be pre-recorded. Although the group's stance on miming in the past has been "we will absolutely not do it," he wrote that the band chose to go through with the performance because "it was a surreal-like, once in a life time crazy thing to do and we would just have fun and do it."

Rather than plug in their instruments, Flea, guitarist Josh Klinghoffer and drummer Chad Smith decided it would be "better to not pretend."

"I am grateful to the NFL for having us," he wrote. "And I am grateful to Bruno, who is a super talented young man for inviting us to be a part of his gig. I would do it all the same way again."
The Chili Peppers performed the band's hit "Give It Away" toward the end of Bruno Mars' Super Bowl halftime show performance.
