Dave Grohl performed a solo version of Foo Fighters‘ song ‘Everlong’ as a special treat for an emergency and trauma nurse — watch his performance below.
The frontman was a surprise guest on last night’s edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live! in the US. The show saw the host surprising New York nurse TJ Riley, who has been named ‘Healthcare Hero of the Week’ by the chat show in a segment which is honouring healthcare workers during the coronavirus pandemic.
A big Foos fan, Riley was then introduced on video chat to Grohl as a reward for being ‘Healthcare Hero of the Week’. After a brief conversation, Grohl performed ‘Everlong’ on an acoustic guitar for Riley — you can see the clip in full below.
The rendition saw artists such as Dua Lipa, Bastille and Royal Blood sending in their parts remotely to form the cover.
The band have also been forced to cancel their upcoming festival DC Jam in the US, which they had been due to headline in July.
