Dave Grohl Honoured With Giant Drumsticks

The Foo Fighters are reportedly taking a "hiatus" from the stage.

Dave Grohl says Foo Fighters’ 1995 single ‘Big Me’ originally started out as a Nirvana song.

In 1999 Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins and Chris Shifflett talked to Paul Cashmere on their Australian tour and after the release of the third Foo Fighters album 'There's Nothing Left To Lose'. For Chris, he was brand new to the band.

Dave Grohl said he had lost count of the number of times Foo Fighters have toured Australia “10, 20, 100”. The answer is actually 13. Foo Fighters first toured Australia on the Summersault Festival in 1995. They were back in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2011, 2015, 2018 and for that one-off show in Geelong in 2022. The early tours were mainly club shows. The biggest they got in those first 10 years (outside festivals) was a Festival Hall show in Melbourne. The first arena show was in 2005 and for the past 10 years it has been stadiums.

Mammoth WVH’s Wolfgang Van Halen is not at all upset over losing a Grammy Award to Foo Fighters. In fact, he was honoured to be placed in the same category as not only Dave Grohl but also Foo Fighters.

Foo Fighters will play a second Melbourne show on 6 December 2023 at AAMI Park.

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has thanked fans for their unwavering support in a touching handwritten message.
