Dave Grohl BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Dave Grohl has been making headlines and surprise moves all over the place these past few days. On June 20th in London at the Roundhouse, Grohl shocked indie fans by jumping onstage with Kim Deal, the legendary frontwoman of The Breeders and ex-Pixies bassist, during her solo show. With his trademark charm, he hopped up near the end of her set, declaring, I'll sing whatever you ask me to sing. I'll do whatever you ask me to do. The two tore through the Pixies classic Gigantic, a song they've jammed together on a few times before, including at Vets Aid in 2022 and Austin City Limits last year, but fan footage of their latest performance in London has been buzzing all weekend, with NME, Kerrang, and Consequence all highlighting the gig. Deal is touring to promote her debut solo album, Nobody Loves You More, so the timing added another layer of excitement.
Grohl's spontaneous appearance only added fuel to fan speculation that he's plotting something big for this festival season—especially Glastonbury, after Amanda Palmer shared a backstage selfie with him at a Yeah Yeah Yeahs show. Threads on Reddit have been going wild, even theorizing that Grohl could make a surprise guest appearance with Alanis Morissette in honor of the late Taylor Hawkins, considering Hawkins was Morissette's drummer pre-Foo Fighters. None of this is confirmed, but it's clear Grohl’s London exploits have kept him in the center of festival chatter.
Meanwhile, business updates from the Foo Fighters camp are rolling in. The band is preparing for their autumn tour dates across Asia and Mexico, with major shows lined up at the Singapore F1 Grand Prix and Mexico City's Corona Capital. There's still no word on who’ll replace drummer Josh Freese, who was let go last month without an official explanation, sparking even more curiosity among fans and industry insiders.
On the music front, Grohl has landed on the F1 movie soundtrack, drumming on Ed Sheeran's new single Drive alongside John Mayer and Rami Jaffee. The high-energy collaboration, which hit streaming platforms this week, has drawn press from Rolling Stone, NME, and the F1 film’s own promotional machine. Social media has kept up the frenzy, with posts from Grohl, Sheeran, and even music news sites sharing behind-the-scenes shots and video clips.
For those counting headlines, Dave Grohl’s whirlwind week included a viral onstage duet with Kim Deal, reignited Glastonbury rumors, major tour announcements, heavy speculation over the Foo Fighters drummer search, and a buzzy new single with Ed Sheeran and John Mayer. No major controversies or public feuds—just the classic Grohl blend of surprise stardom, rock loyalty, and industry intrigue, ensuring the Foo legend’s enduring place at the heart of rock’s ongoing story.
