Dave Grohl Makes Surprise Appearance To Perform With ‘80s Rock Legend originally appeared on Parade.
Someone get Rockapella to record “Where In The World Is Dave Grohl,” because the Foo Fighters frontman is putting Carmen Sandiego to shame. And his latest random appearance occurred thanks to indie rock icon Kim Deal.
Since Grohl, 56, admitted in September 2024 that he fathered a child outside of his marriage to Jordyn Blum, he’s made some surprise appearances here and there. He played with Post Malone at the SNL 50th Anniversary concert in March. Dave showed up at Coachella in April, joining the Los Angeles Philharmonic to perform two Foo Fighters songs. Also that month, he played at Oakwood Live, a school benefit in Los Angeles.
His latest appearance took place in London when Grohl joined the former Pixies bassist during her show at the Roundhouse on June 20. Deal, 64, brought out Grohl, who told her, “I’ll sing whatever you ask me to sing. I’ll do whatever you ask me to do.”
They then launched into “Gigantic,” a song that the two have played together a handful of times over the year, per Consequence. Deal is touring in support of her debut solo album, Nobody Loves You More.
Grohl’s appearance at Deal’s London show adds fuel to an ongoing fan theory: he is going to be a “surprise” performer at this year’s Glastonbury festival.
Fans began to speculate about Grohl’s involvement on Jun 18 when controversial singer Amanda Palmer posted a photo of her alongside him. “Well I’ll be damned. Not who I expected to run into backstage at the [Yeah Yeah Yeahs] show at @royalalberthall in London tonight,” she wrote.
Fans on Reddit speculated that Grohl may make an appearance during Alanis Morissette’s set as a tribute to the late Taylor Hawkins. Before he joined the Foos in 1997, Hawkins was Morissette’s drummer, appearing in videos for “You Oughta Know,” “All I Really Want,” and “You Learn.”
As of June, the Foo Fighters only have a handful of shows scheduled for 2025. In May, the band fired drummerJosh Freese, who says “no reason was given” for his dismissal. The band hasn’t announced Freese’s replacement.
