This is Maggie, the cancer patient whose favorite song was Dosed, she asked Josh to play it, they did. She passed away shortly after.

On the evening of May 28, 2017, Rogers Place in Edmonton became the backdrop for a deeply moving and unforgettable moment in music history. The Red Hot Chili Peppers took the stage to perform “Dosed” live for the very first time ever — a song that had never before been played in concert. This special performance was dedicated to Maggie Schmidt, a courageous young fan battling terminal cancer, whose heartfelt wish was simply to hear her favorite song performed live.
Maggie had asked Josh Klinghoffer, the band’s guitarist at the time, to play “Dosed” for her. The band, deeply touched by her bravery and spirit, honored her wish with an intimate and emotional rendition that filled the arena with raw, heartfelt energy. That night wasn’t just a concert — it was a tribute to hope, love, and the power of music to heal and unite.
Shortly after this unforgettable performance, Maggie peacefully passed away, leaving behind a legacy of strength and inspiration. Her story continues to resonate with fans around the world, reminding us all of the profound impact a single moment of kindness and music can have on a life. This night remains a testament to Maggie’s courage and the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ heartfelt connection to their fans.
