Last week, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl dropped a beautiful cover of the X song “Nausea” with his 15-year-old daughter Violet on vocals. As Dave shared the story behind the cover, he revealed that X’s drummer D.J. Bonebrake is a long-lost cousin of the Grohl’s.
“The Bonebrake family tree can be traced all the way back to Johann Christian Breinbrech, who was baptized in Switzerland February 9, 1642,” Grohl said at the time.
Now, Dave and his daughter have taken to Jimmy Kimmel Live! to perform the song for the very first time.
The performance showcases the talent that runs in the Grohl family as Violet’s outstanding vocals are on full display. Plus, you’ll catch a glimpse of Dave’s former Nirvana bandmate Krist Novoselic on bass.
In an interview with Kimmel, Grohl dug in on how the cover came about.“This represents something more than just a song to roll in the credits. It has to do with lineage and family and inspiration,” he said. “I thought who better to sing it than my daughter Violet?”
“It’s the first time she and I had recorded together just the two of us,” Dave added. “I’m so proud of it because I love her very much and she’s an amazing singer, but it kind of follows this lineage and this family history. From this guy in the 1600’s to my daughter, Violet.”
Grohl’s daughter clearly has the chops to become a professional musician. Is Dave going to let her hop in a van and tour the country like he did? “I hope so,” he tells Kimmel. “But probably in a Tesla.”
