Earlier this month, it was announced that Chad Smith has formed a formidable supergroup consisting of musicians from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Guns N’ Roses, Pearl Jam and Coldplay to play at a charity show which had been organised by Will Ferrell.
The Chilis drummer has assembled the band – who will go by the name Chad Smith’s Super Mega Funktastic Jam Rock All Stars – in time for Ferrell’s charity night next month, ‘Will Ferrell’s Best Night of Your Life’. All proceeds from the show will go towards Cancer For College, which provides college scholarships to low-income, high-achieving cancer survivors.
Holmes and Watson will be released on December 21.
