Last week, Loretta Lynn's Triangle show was rescheduled to April because she's recovering from knee surgery. And now, the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Jan. 27 show at RBC Center has also been postponed to the same month, also due to a lower-body surgical situation.

The Chili Peppers' new date will be April 4. In a statement, tour promoter Live Nation said the show was  postponed because lead singer Anthony Kiedis recently had to undergo surgery because of "multiple foot injuries," adding that he is expected to make a fully recovery. Also rescheduled are dates in Charlotte, to April 6; and Greensboro, to April 9.

With new year's eve in sight and 2011 winding down, 2012 beckons -- and the first big arena show of the year. That will be Red Hot Chili Peppers, just announced for Raleigh's RBC Center on Jan. 27, one of three North Carolina dates they'll play that month (including the U.S. tour's opening date in Charlotte on Jan. 25, and Jan. 31 in Greensboro).

The announcement did not include ticket prices, but Saturday is the on-sale date. And here's a photo gallery from their European tour.
