Dave Grohl: New Foo Era, Drummer Swap, and Rock's Busiest Man

Dave Grohl BioSnap a weekly updated Biography. Dave Grohl has dominated rock headlines in the past few days, with developments that blend tabloid drama and genuine music news. The biggest headline finds Grohl and the Foo Fighters about to launch a new era with their first scheduled public appearance of 2025 — the Singapore Grand Prix on October 4, sharing the stage with acts like Smashing Pumpkins and Elton John. This will be the band’s first major show since Grohl’s highly publicized reveal last September that he had fathered a child outside his marriage, a bombshell he dropped just after finishing the Foo Fighters’ Everything Or Nothing At All tour and a private House of Blues gig. According to AOL, Grohl declared an intent to “be a loving and supportive parent” and regain his family’s trust in a move that saw his daughters briefly vanish from social media. Since then, Grohl has made several notable public performances, including reuniting with Nirvana at January’s FireAid, jamming with Post Malone on Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary, and collaborating with the LA Philharmonic last April. Music circles are equally abuzz with the band’s fresh internal shakeup: Ultimate Classic Rock and Modern Drummer confirm that Ilan Rubin will drum for the Foo Fighters in place of Josh Freese, who returns to Nine Inch Nails in what observers are calling a ‘drummer swap.’ Rubin, previously with NIN and Angels & Airwaves, brings a new dynamic to the group—though sources stress it’s not yet confirmed if his position is permanent or strictly for the upcoming tour dates. Social media and music outlets have fixated on this surprise move, which Modern Drummer reports was made public just before Nine Inch Nails’ own North American tour kickoff. Grohl himself has been spotted out and about, providing lighter moments among the drama. Last week, Instagram posts from Kids’ Ketch Toys in Delaware captured the rock star shopping for toys—posing for fan photos and showing his trademark approachability. Beyond new music and family revelations, Grohl’s myth continues to grow—he was the subject of a tribute event called The Best of Grohl in Poole, UK, celebrating his work with Nirvana, Foo Fighters, and Them Crooked Vultures, as advertised on Bandsintown. Adding to the week’s buzz, IMDB News highlighted Grohl’s onstage cameo with Kim Deal at London’s Roundhouse performing the Pixies’ classic "Gigantic," a fan-favorite collaboration that further cements his reputation as rock’s ever-willing guest star. Looking ahead, Grohl is slated to appear at high-profile charity concerts like Joe Walsh’s VetsAid and major festivals throughout autumn, keeping the Grohl headlines rolling and his biographical narrative as unpredictable as ever.
