In other Foo Fighters news, for the second year in a row, Dave Grohl and producer Greg Kurstin are honoring Jewish musicians throughout Hanukkah with a new cover song released on the Foos’ YouTube channel every day.
Update: The band has canceled their Minneapolis date already, due to the venue refusing to meet the Foo Fighters’ COVID safety measures. In a statement, the Foos said, “Due to Huntington Bank Stadium’s refusal to agree to the band’s COVID safety measures, Foo Fighters are unable to perform at that venue. We apologize for any inconvenience and are working to find a suitable replacement – one that will prioritize the health and safety of everyone working and attending the show.”
