Antony Kiedis regrets writing his autobiography because it has upset his former lovers.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman's Scar Tissue told a blunt and explicitly honest tale of his upbringing, drugs exploits and many relationships.

But now, two years after its publication, Kiedis says he wishes he had given more respect to ex-girlfriends.

“I could have been a little bit more considerate," he explained. "I was trying to put everything on the table - and in my spirit of, 'Here it is,' I said things, particularly about girls I've had relationships with, that I regret."
