Dave Grohl has launched a new Instagram account to share personal short stories whilst in COVID-19 quarantine.

“Hi. My Name is Dave. Sometimes I play drums. Sometimes I play guitar. Sometimes I tell stories,” Grohl wrote in an introduction post on the account.

“I’m currently looking for work, so I thought I’d pass the time by writing true short stories that will make people smile.

“My mother was a brilliant English teacher, my father a wicked speechwriter, so I decided to rebel by not paying attention to grammar and/or punctuation in school. (That, and cranking death metal 24/7 from my bedroom stereo). So… have mercy. Not going for a Nobel Prize in literature here.

“I look forward to sharing some of the more ridiculous moments of my life with you.”

Foo Fighters monolithic 25th anniversary Van Tour was set to kick off on April 12th. The band were set to visit all the cities they performed at whilst supporting their debut record back in 1995. The tour was unfortunately postponed amid the COVID-19 crisis.

Grohl recently revealed that Foo Fighters tenth album is complete.

“We just finished another fucking record, and I’m so fucking proud of it,” revealed Grohl. “It’s unlike anything we’ve ever done.”

“I’m fucking excited for people to hear it and I can’t wait to jump on that fucking stage to play it. There are choruses on this record that 50-fucking-thousand people are gonna sing, and it’s gonna bring everyone’s fucking hearts together in that moment. And that’s what it’s all about.”
