Dave Grohl covered LCD Soundsystem, David Bowie and more during a recent surprise appearance at a fundraiser.
The Foo Fighters frontman appeared and performed for Oakwood Live at Avalon Hollywood on Friday (April 25) at a school benefit in Los Angeles. At the gig, Grohl was joined by Foos bandmate Rami Jaffee, as well as musicians Wiley Hodgen and John Lousteau.
The set began with a cover of LCD Soundsystem’s ‘Daft Punk Is Playing At My House’, before moving on to The Knack‘s ‘My Sherona’. After that, they played Queen and Bowie’s ‘Under Pressure’, with another special guest – The Struts’ Luke Spiller. Lisa Loeb then also joined them on stage for a cover of Bowie’s ‘Moonage Daydream’.
Earlier this month, Grohl made a surprise appearance during weekend two of Coachella, performing Foo Fighters’ ‘Everlong’ and ‘The Sky Is A Neighbourhood’ alongside the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
In January, he reunited with his surviving Nirvana bandmates for a surprise appearance at the FireAid benefit gig. This saw them perform with St. Vincent, Kim Gordon, Joan Jett and Grohl’s daughter Violet to deliver a number of greatest hits.
He also spent his birthday volunteering in LA, making meals for those left affected by the fires. In footage shared by Feed The Streets Los Angeles on Instagram Stories, the singer and guitarist was seen stirring a large pot of chilli as part of the efforts to provide food for those who have been forced to leave their homes.
Last year, the musician revealed that he had “recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage”, adding: “I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.”
Foo Fighters subsequently cancelled their scheduled headline slot at the Soundside Music Festival, and currently do not have any live dates in their calendar.
