Dave Grohl: Foo Fighters' New Drummer, Family Unity, and 30 Years of Triumphs and Trials
Dave Grohl BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Dave Grohl has proved yet again that rock and real life are inseparable pages in his ongoing story. The biggest music headline this week is the major shakeup in the Foo Fighters lineup. Multiple outlets including The Hollywood Reporter and Ultimate Classic Rock confirm that Ilan Rubin, best known for his powerhouse work with Nine Inch Nails, is joining Foo Fighters as their new drummer. This comes after the recent firing of Josh Freese, just two years after the tragic passing of beloved drummer Taylor Hawkins. Freese, for his part, has slid right back into the Nine Inch Nails fold, meaning these two iconic bands have effectively traded drummers. Questions remain about whether Rubin is a permanent addition or just filling in for the busy international tour dates ahead, including Jakarta, Singapore, Tokyo, Osaka, and Mexico City this fall. On top of all that, Foo Fighters marked their 30th anniversary by releasing “Today’s Song,” the band’s first new track in two years. Grohl offered an emotional message alongside the release, reflecting on “unbridled joy” and “devastating heartbreak”—lines that now feel deeply autobiographical given the past year.
Offstage, Dave Grohl and wife Jordyn Blum made their first major public appearance together in nearly a year, attending Wimbledon in London with their three daughters Violet, Harper Willow, and Ophelia Saint. Their family unity, on stylish display in power suits, was significant considering the public turmoil following Grohl’s September 2024 announcement that he had fathered a child out of wedlock. At the time, Grohl spoke publicly about his commitment to rebuilding trust and prioritizing all his children moving forward. The sighting at Wimbledon, covered by WireImage and others, sent a clear signal—at least outwardly, the Grohl family is moving on together.
Social media has not been quiet either. Fan accounts and toy shops in Delaware have buzzed this week after Grohl was spotted being gracious with fans and shopping for toys. On Instagram, meme-makers and biographers are keeping the Nirvana legacy alive, tagging the Foo Fighters frontman in nostalgic throwbacks and playful content. For sheer career stamina, Grohl is set to front the ultimate stadium show as Foo Fighters take the stage at the Singapore Grand Prix in October, their first major gig since last summer’s tour wrapped amid his family drama. So whether in tabloid splashes or headline tours, Dave Grohl remains very much front and center on the world stage.
