A quick update to a story I brought to you yesterday concerning the rumors speculating about Foo Fighters taking a hiatus after wrapping up a concert at a festival in NYC this past weekend. Frontman Dave Grohl has taken to social media and posted this Facebook status on their band page confirming the hiatus and the impending projects that Dave has coming up down the pipeline:
Dave here. Just wanted to write and thank you all again from the bottom
of my heart for another incredible year. (Our 18th, to be exact!) We
truly never could have done any of this without you... Never in my
wildest dreams did I think Foo Fighters would make it this far. I never
thought we COULD make it this far, to be honest. There were times when I
didn't think the band would survive. There were times when I wanted to
give up. But... I can't give up this band. And I never will. Because
it's not just a band to me. It's my life. It's my family. It's my world.
Yes... I was serious. I'm not sure when the Foo Fighters are going to
play again. It feels strange to say that, but it's a good thing for all
of us to go away for a while. It's one of the reasons we're still here.
Make sense? I never want to NOT be in this band. So, sometimes it's good
to just... put it back in the garage for a while...
But, no gold watches or vacations just yet... I'll be focusing all of my
energy on finishing up my Sound City documentary film and album for
worldwide release in the very near future. A year in the making, it
could be the biggest, most important project I've ever worked on. Get
ready... it's coming.
Me, Taylor, Nate, Pat, Chris, and Rami... I'm sure we'll all see you out there... somewhere...
Thank you, thank you, thank you...
Dave
This doesn't mean that Foo Fighters are breaking up, just taking a hiatus so that the members can spend time with their family and focus on other projects, both musical and non-musical.
