Foo Fighters Singer Makes Huge Confession; Fans Disappointed

Commentary

A few weeks ago, Foo Fighters frontman and former drummer for legendary grunge band, Nirvana, Dave Grohl, threw an absolute fit about former President Donald Trump using the band’s music for his presidential campaign. Of course, the crybaby meltdown he and the band threw over the matter was null and void, because, like all artists who are signed to major record labels, they don’t actually own the rights to the licensing of their own songs. In fact, it’s BMI that owns the licensing for Foo Fighters tunes. And the Trump campaign lawfully paid for the license to the music they are using.

But that’s not even the big news. As it turns out, Dave “Mr. Self-Righteous” Grohl, confessed to the general public that he’s once again become a father, this time to a child “born outside my marriage.” In other words, he cheated on his wife. So much for having the moral high ground, huh, Dave.

“I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside my marriage,” Grohl admitted in a statement he shared to his Instagram account on Tuesday. “I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her,” the 55-year-old Foo Fighters frontman continued. He then attempted to convince everyone in the comment section that he knew would be chewing him out over his moral failure by saying, “I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.”

“We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together,” the statement concluded.

Here’s more from Breitbart:

Last month, while Grohl was presumably preparing for the birth of his out of wedlock child, his band Foo Fighters prioritized decrying former President Donald Trump for playing their 1997 hit song “My Hero” at his rally in Glendale, Arizona, while Democrat-turned-Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took the stage to endorse him.

“Foo Fighters were not asked permission, and if they were, they would not have granted it,” the band’s spokesperson told Billboard at the time, before threatening that the band would be taking “appropriate actions” against the Trump campaign. Any royalties received as a result of the song usage will be donated to the Harris/Walz campaign, the spokesperson said. President Trump, however, had the right to play the Foo Fighters song during his Glendale rally, despite the band claiming otherwise, as the campaign noted that it had licensed the song through BMI’s Songview service.

Trump’s campaign spokesman, Steven Cheung showed expert level trolling skills when he used some of the band’s lyrics against them in a post on X.

“It’s Times Like These facts matter, don’t be a Pretender. @foofighters,” Cheung stated.

Make sure you have your own ducks in a row before you try and act high and mighty. That’s the lesson others should learn from this Grohl fiasco. Whether or not other Hollywood celebrities will get the point remains to be seen.
