What’s next for the Foo Fighters now that Dave Grohl has baby mama issues? An indefinite hiatus.

Dave Grohl has a major PR problem. It was recently revealed that the guy anointed The Nicest Guy in Rock™ and with a reputation of a dedicated husband and a proper family man fathered a child outside his marriage. The story is that he’d been having an affair Annaliese Nielsen (an “alt-porn goddess” and socialite) for–wait for it–fifteen years. And the affair wasn’t all that secret, either.

It gets weirder, too. Dave’s wife, Jordyn Blum, has been offered millions to write a tell-all book about…whatever she has to say.

Ouch.

How do you come back from this? Very carefully and over a long period of time.

It looks like he’s trying to get back to some kind of normalcy. Dave was spotted shopping for Halloween supplies. But he does need to be out of the public eye for a while until this messy personal situation gets sorted out. He’s got a lot of trust to regain–if can regain it at all. It’s also been a remarkable fall from grace with fans and the public.

In a wise move, the Foo Fighters have canceled all dates for the rest of the year and have announced an “indefinite hiatus” to regroup. It’s been a rough couple of years. First, there was the death of Taylor Hawkins. Then Dave’s beloved mother died. And now this.

Just remember: If you’re having a bad day, it could be worse. You could be Dave Grohl these days.
