Foo Fighters are reportedly going on an indefinite hiatus after frontman Dave Grohl revealed he fathered a child outside of his marriage. Grohl, 55, shared the news about his new baby with an unnamed woman, while he has been married to actress Jordyn Blum, 48, since 2003 and they have three children together. Following this revelation, Grohl is focused on rebuilding trust with his family, which will mean stepping back from band commitments.
The band recently canceled their performance at the Soundside Music Festival on short notice, announcing via social media that they would no longer participate. Sources indicate that the group is prioritizing family time and regrouping after a challenging few years marked by personal losses, including the passing of drummer Taylor Hawkins.
Grohl expressed his commitment to being a loving parent and working towards forgiveness from his family in a social media statement. While fans were taken aback by the news, insiders suggest that the perception of Grohl as the “nice guy” of rock may have overlooked his complexities.
