A few days ago, Dave Grohl made it public that he was cheating on his wife. This is now reportedly affecting the future of his band.
In contrast to many of his colleagues, Dave Grohl has never attracted attention for drug excesses or other scandals. But the musician recently admitted on his Instagram profile that he had cheated on his wife Jordyn Blum: “I recently became a father to another daughter who was born outside of my marriage. I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her.” , wrote the 55-year-old.
Dave Grohl has been married to his wife since 2003. His misstep now apparently also has professional consequences for the frontman of the Foo Fighters. According to media reports, the rock band is taking a long break.
On Thursday, September 26th, the Foo Fighters addressed fans with disappointing news. The musicians canceled their appearance at a festival in Bridgeport, Connecticut. “The Foo Fighters will not be performing at Soundside Music Festival this weekend,” reads a statement on the band’s official Instagram page.
Since no reasons were given for the short-term cancellation, the decision sparked debate among fans. A report in the British newspaper “The Sun” is now further fueling the rumors. “The band needs time to be with their families and regroup. Touring isn’t ideal for any of them at the moment. It feels like an indefinite break is best for everyone,” said the insider. The Foo Fighters left a query from the Mirror unanswered.
The Foo Fighters have recently faced some setbacks. In March 2022, Taylor Hawkins, the band’s drummer, died, and a few months later, singer and guitarist Dave Grohl lost his mother. According to the insider, after announcing the birth of his daughter, the former Nirvana drummer now wants to take more time for his family: “He wants to be at home and concentrate on regaining his family’s trust.”
