In 1995 Phoenix joined the Red Hot Chili Peppers as a backup singer on their One Hot Minute tour.

Famous quotes containing the words late and/or nineties:

    But this was the old tree’s late branch wrenched away,
    Grieving the sapless limbs, the shorn and shaken.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    Here also was made the novelty ‘Chestnut Bell’ which enjoyed unusual popularity during the gay nineties when every dandy jauntily wore one of the tiny bells on the lapel of his coat, and rang it whenever a story-teller offered a ‘chestnut.’
