Dave Grohl has this note for fans about the emotional Foo Fighters tour
I noticed a couple of posts on Reddit by Foo Fighters fans who are worried about Dave Grohl on the current Foo Fighters tour. They note that he seems to be out of breath after less than half a dozen songs and is obviously working harder at being the frontman and maybe trying too hard to carry all the emotion of touring without Taylor Hawkins for the first time.
Listen, this tour has to be tough for everyone involved. As well as being Dave’s best friend, Taylor was a member of the band for 25 years. Adjusting to his absence must be unbelievably hard. (Imagine what drummer Josh Freese is feeling, too.)
Dave decided that he needed to send a message to fans about how he and the band are doing. Here it is.
“Hey, it’s been a while. Now that we’ve returned from our first run of shows, I felt compelled to reach out and thank you all for being there for us.
“Every night, when I see you singing, it makes me sing harder. When I see you screaming, it makes me scream louder. When I see your tears, it brings me to tears. And when I see your joy, it brings me joy. But, I see you… and it feels good to see you, churning up these emotions together.
“Because we’ve always done this together. Time and time again. See you soon. Dave”
It’s heartwarming to see Dave Grohl reaching out to his fans and expressing his gratitude for their support during the Foo Fighters tour. It’s evident that this tour holds a significant emotional weight for Dave, especially with the absence of his longtime bandmate and friend, Taylor Hawkins.
As a fan, reading Dave’s heartfelt note brings a sense of unity and reminds us that we’re all part of this journey together. It’s comforting to know that the fans’ enthusiasm, whether through singing, screaming, or even shedding tears of joy, has a profound impact on the band and fuels their performances.
Thank you, Dave, for sharing your heartfelt words with your fans. Your dedication to your craft and the genuine connection you have with your audience is truly inspiring. We can’t wait to see you and the band continue to rock the stage and create unforgettable moments together.
