Over 1000 musicians play Foo Fighters song


A vast group of singers and musicians have gathered in the Italian town of Cesena to perform the Foo Fighters song ‘Learn To Fly’. The video, which has since gone viral, included a message to frontman Dave Grohl asking him and the band to play a concert in their town. Given the lengths they have gone to and the reception it has gotten I don’t see them saying no.

The Foo Fighters frontman has performed from his own custom chair for dates on the band’s US tour after he broke his leg during a gig in Sweden. Grohl say’s that he designed the chair – which is based on the Iron Throne from Game Of Thrones – whilst he was ‘high as a kite’ on painkillers. It features numerous guitar necks as well as the band’s logo. He is undoubtedly making the best out of a bad situation and as much as I wish him a speedy recovery, I want to see plenty more of his creation while his leg heals over the upcoming tour.

After frontman Dave Grohl broke his leg during a performance in Gothenburg, Sweden, the band have called off the remaining dates for their European tour including their headlining slot at Glastonbury. Depending on how well he recovers, his injury may also affect some American dates. There is no information yet as to whether any of the shows will be rescheduled or as to who will be filling the prestigious role of Glastonbury headliner. Here’s wishing him a speedy recovery!
