Its official, Foo Fighters are NOT breaking up “and nobody’s going fucking solo”.
The band has addressed internet rumours of their demise in a very funny video on YouTube where in an alternate universe Butch Vig is working on an electronica album with Dave Grohl. “It just takes one finger. The music is right at your fingertips,” says Vig.
Meanwhile Dave can’t really remember how many other guys there are in Foo Fighters. “Three, maybe four”. And then we get a glimpse of his fictitious new solo song. “Now I’m free to be me, and not those other three … or four”.
Meanwhile the other three of four start planning their new lead singer. “David Coverdale … lets make Foo Fighters great again,” is one suggestion. “Hagar? How about Gwen, a little sex appeal coming in.”
“For the millionth time, we’re not breaking up and nobody’s going fucking solo,” they post at the end of the video.
