During their stop in Kansas last night, the Foo Fighters had a little love fest with the religious group Westboro Baptist Church, who were outside their concert at the Azura Ampitheater chanting and displaying signs, including one that read: “God sent the Coronavirus in fury.”
Arriving like sequined-covered knights of love on the back of a pick-up truck, the band, dressed in '70s jump-suits, came swooping in with frontman Dave Grohl announcing, "Alright now, ladies and gentlemen, I got something to say. Because you know what, I love you!"

“I do! The way I look at it, is that I love everybody. Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do? Can’t you just love everybody?" Grohl asked. "'Cuz I think it’s about love! That’s what I think, we’re all about love. And you shouldn’t be hating, you know what you should be doing? You should be dancing!” said Grohl.
The Foos then broke into their Dee Gees version of the Bee Gees classic "You Should Be Dancin,'" with Grohl encouraging the protesters to join in.
Obviously referencing one of the band's biggest songs, WBC responded on Twitter saying “Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl claims he loves everybody and Westboro Baptist does not. Hello! There’s no love in encouraging sin. Someone might accuse Dave of being a… Pretender."
Currently on tour celebrating 26 years as a band, the Foos also recently dropped an EP of Bee Gees covers as "the Dee Gees," titled Hail Satin, for Record Store Day along with five live versions of songs from their newest album Medicine At Midnight.
