It had to happen. It was inevitable. The forces of Rock willed it into existence.

Foo Fighters performed at The Forum in Inglewood, CA on Thursday evening and brought out a guest to the stage for a cameo that was years in the making. 11-year-old phenom Nandi Bushell.
Bushell joined her once-nemesis Dave Grohl and the rest of the Foos on stage for her long-awaited appearance with the band. Nandi took up a seat next to Taylor Hawkins’ drum set as she launched into “Everlong” with the band.
“It Happened!!!” Nandi wrote on Instagram in a video showcasing her performance.
It was #EPIC!!! Tonight I jammed with the @foofighters live @theforum!!! Wow!!! What an INCREDIBLE night! THANK YOU @foofighters @davestruestories! Thank you @taylorhawkinsofficial thank you everyone who made this possible!!! #foofighters #davegrohl #theforum #everlong - It’s my Daddy screaming a lot and filmed this video. MORE TO COME!!!”
Nandi first came to the internet’s attention when she challenged Dave Grohl to a drum battle back in 2020. Grohl accepted her challenge and the two engaged in numerous drum offs that got better and better as time went on.
Finally, Grohl conceded defeat during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert as he spoke glowingly about Nandi’s musical chops. “She’s beating the crap out of her drum set, and when she does drum rolls, she screams,” he recalled of the first time watching her perform.
“I was like, ‘oh my God, this kid is a force of nature.’”
