 In a recent interview with Virgin Radio, Foo Fighters lead singer and guitarist, Dave Grohl, said he never imagined he would still be in music after the tragedies that occurred over a decade ago.
Prior to forming the Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl was the drummer and backing vocalist for Nirvana. In 1994, after Kurt Cobain's death and subsequent break-up of Nirvana, Grohl went into the studio to record some demos that became the debut album for the Foo Fighters.
Grohl told Virgin Radio that his world was turned upside down after the death of Cobain, and he couldn't imagine playing music again. He said he spent a lot of time just traveling around and thinking before he decided to book six days in the studio to record a dozen of his favorite songs.
On Tuesday, September 25th, the Foo Fighters will release their sixth studio album, Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace, their first album since 1997.
