What they’re saying

“There were so many things that led me to this therapy.”

— Dave Grohl

“As far as having a deeper, longer conversation about them, I still do reserve a lot of this for my own personal life, as impersonal and public as it may seem. But I think that for many reasons, I wound up in a place that I needed to stop and sit with myself and re-evaluate myself. It's an ongoing process.”

— Dave Grohl

What’s next

Foo Fighters will launch a full North American stadium tour in August 2026 in support of the 'Your Favorite Toy' album.
