Frusciante out of RHCP?

There is speculation that guitarist John Frusciante might have bowed out from Red Hot Chili Peppers. The guitarist who recently released his 10th solo album The Empyrean, in an interview to French magazine Guitarist & Bass, has reportedly said, "I'm not interested in being in a band anymore; because during the last 10 years, I've spent more than 4 years and a half touring with a band. The Chili Peppers had to perform a huge number of concerts. To me, it represents a very long period of time time when we can barely be creative. I'll have a show within 2 months, but it won't be rock. I can't say anymore about that now, because we still have to define things."
