An Epochal Open Letter from Dave Grohl to Foo Fighters, Our Fans, and the Whole Foo Fighters Community.
Dear Foo Fighters family,
As I sit down to write this, my heart is full of thankfulness. Looking back on this remarkable journey, I am reminded of the love, resilience, and unfailing support that has sustained us throughout the years. From the first song we recorded to the countless nights we’ve spent on stage, this journey has been nothing short of incredible. Today, I’d like to express my gratitude—to my bandmates, our fans, and the entire Foo Fighters community—for making this all possible.
My brothers in the Foo Fighters—Nate, Pat, Chris, Rami, and Josh—have been my family, creative partners, and source of strength. We worked together to create something bigger than any of us could have imagined. We’ve laughed, grieved, and created music that touches the emotions of many people. We’ve stood side by side through the highs and lows, driven by the same passion that brought us together in the first place. I couldn’t have asked for a nicer group of folks to share the experience with.
To our fans: you are the Foo Fighters’ heartbeat. Your voices, enthusiasm, and belief in us have been our most powerful motivators. Every time we stand on stage, we can sense your affection. Every song we write is with you in mind. Whether you’ve been with us since This Is a Call or joined us along the way, you’re a member of this family, and we wouldn’t be here without you.
To the whole Foo Fighters community—our crew, team, and everyone who has worked behind the scenes to make this dream a reality—you are the band’s unsung heroes. You’ve stuck with us through thick and thin, guaranteeing that the music never stops. Your dedication means everything to us, and we are eternally thankful.
This journey has never been just about music; it’s about connecting, healing, and finding strength in one another. We’ve shared moments of joy, sadness, and triumph, and the music has held us together throughout.
As we move forward, remember that the Foo Fighters’ narrative is far from over. We will continue to play, create, and share this amazing experience with all of you. Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for taking part in this trip.
With all of my love and gratitude.
Dave Grohl
