On Monday, March 16th, it has been announced that the Foo Fighters are postponing their Van Tour amidst the coronavirus pandemic.
Front man Dave Grohl had this to say in a recent statement regarding the circumstances: “Playing a gig with a sock full of broken bones is one thing, but playing a show when YOUR health and safety is in jeopardy is another.. We f—-n’ love you guys. So let do this right and rain check s–t.”
But to make the bad news a little sweeter, Grohl also reminded fans that the band’s 10th studio album is done. “It’s f—-n’ killer,” he said.
He contined: “The SECOND we are given the go ahead, we’ll come tear s–t up like we always do. Promise,” said Grohl before reminding fans, “Now go wash your hands.”
