The death of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins still feels like a fresh wound. The fact that Dave Grohl and company have picked up and moved forward within a years’ time has been cathartic not just for them, but for us too.
The dropped a new album, But Here We Are on June 2nd. They announced and started a tour hitting up the early summer festivals and before they could do that, brought in Josh Freese to take over where Taylor left off.
This past weekend, Foo Fighters closed out the final night of Bonnarroo Music and Arts Festival, just down the road in Manchester, TN. Paramore was a part of the lineup as well, so it was a treat to fans when Dave welcomed Paramore’s Haley Williams to the stage to belt out a bit of the song with them.
Haley has a very powerful voice, but I feel her performance was robbed a bit from possible mic issues, and according to social media posts, it was just the stream mix where there was a problem and that she was actually clear as a bell thru the PA to the crowd. Still, it was a fun thing to see. Check out the performance below.
