Dave Grohl is a living rock and roll legend! From being Nirvana's drummer, to fronting Foo Fighters (sometimes drumming for the band) and even forming his own supergroup in the meantime, the dude has the steady hustle, down!
1. The man turned 50!
At the beginning of the year (January 14th to be exact) Dave hit the big 5-0 and he celebrated with a Grohl Bowl! Living the rock and roll life can take a lot out of you, and after all those years of partying and mansion crashing, Dave came to the realization that nothing beats a bowlng alley birthday party!
2. Dave Grohl was spotted busking at Pike Place Market
Oh yes, remember that?? He and Brandi Carlile surprised a ton of locals and tourists shopping for their weekend floral bouquets with a pop-up busking session! I missed them by about 15 minutes and I will never live it down! It still hurts... so I'll just let you enjoy the video from that Saturday below:
3. Dave brought his daughter, Violet on tour wth the Foo Fighters
I'm assuming it's pretty bad ass to be Dave's kid for many reasons, but mainly because of this!:
If we know anything about Dave Grohl, it's that he can't sit still for too long, and I'm not just talking about working on new music or touring. He now has his own barbeque company, Backbeat BBQ. Last year, Dave and a few celebrity chefs came together to cook during a pre-Christmas event all to benefit the L.A. Food Bank. Just a few months back, Dave cooked up a storm for another charity, the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund. The event took place at Wendy Dio's residence and Dave showed up 12 hours early to get the smoker going. He later served up brisket, ribs and pulled pork. YUM. Cooking up delicious meats for people and doing it for a good cause!
5. That time Dave sang on Sesame Street
Oh yes he did! Last month he joined Big Bird and Elmo for a little ditty they called "Here We Go". A super cute tune singing about traveling and meeting new people. I was thrilled to be able to introduce my two-year-old niece to Dave in a way she would appreciate.
6. Shotgunning a beer with Santa
Our fearless frontman, Dave has invited many lucky fans on stage with him and the almighty Foo Fighters over the years. And the latest fan to get their 15 seconds of fame is none other than Santa! Well, a guy dressed in a provacative santa suit. He was holding a sign that read: 'Dave, will you shotgun a beer with me?' And well, this is what happens when you challenge Dave in the middle of the show. Enjoy!
