Apparently he has cheated on his wife and fathered a baby girl. Not the nicest man in rock after all.Wink

Why put people that you don't know on a pedestal? You do not know him, you only know his public persona. You can admire his work but you do not know him as a person. It's so weird.

I always generally liked him but when he was shitty about Taylor Swift recently I was surprised and thought he came off as bitter and jaded. Now I just think he’s a compete dickhead and a pathetic cliche.

I agree. Until that point I thought of him as one of the nice guys in life.

In his bio dave grohl says that me takes his whole family on tour with him. Maybe that's why!

Who is me (him)?

If LLB turns out to be a wrong ‘un, I shall riot! He has been on tv with his wife and looks utterly in love with her.

I read an article on him recently, he came across as lovely, devoted, family man. His adult children and their partners/children all live with him and his wife so that kind of gives the impression that he's genuinely nice.

Ugh if Reddit is to be believed the mother of he new baby is a friend of his oldest daughter.

So not only is he a sleaze, he’s also a cliche. I really hope it’s not true.

I get what you were saying @Pedallleur - Foo Fighters may be commercially more successful than Nirvana were due to the stadiums and longevity, but what Nirvana did culturally, FF could not touch in a million years

His eldest is only 18 isn't she? Jesus I fucking hope that isn't the case 🤢

Kerensa70 · 12/09/2024 09:55

There are rumours on X around who the mother is, one persistent one. I guess it will come out. Never saw this one coming and it’s just sad. For everyone, so many lives thrown sideways and all so publicly.

I didn't mention Courtney in my post about Stipe but I've never heard her say Michael was an addict. He was never a heroin addict.

No I did & I know MS was never an addict

Maybe a combination of the death of his mother and a mid life crisis?

Still no excuse though

I don’t know what’s gone on Chez Grohl so no comment on there, I hope his wife is OK but more widely this is serious example of why celebs should stop dragging their kids into the limelight. Oldest Grohl Violet age 18 sings on stage with Dad at major music festivals etc. he talks about them publicly

So much pressure on kids if there’s a private family implosion caused by the adults who have also made the kids into public figures. Grohl is not the only celebrity who does this obviously. And he’s got a lot more integrity saying he will look after the new baby than Boris johnson getting injunctions to hide his (however many there are?) extramarital ,children, or married cheating celebs like David Beckham who constantly set themselves up as a perfect family man and dad. I feel sorry for all the kids involved.

OhmygodDont · 12/09/2024 10:40

If the rumour tho Ive seen the picture are true no wonder his two daughters have come off social media. Your dad sneaking around with someone around your own age is completely gross and she’s then your half siblings mum. Eugh 🤢

Stop making excuses for men. My Dad died and i was going through the menopause, didn't make me cheat on my Husband.

The post that’s going round about a baby called Roxie is fake.

Comparing Nirvana to the Foo Fighters is like comparing Robert De Niro to the bloke who plays Kevin Webster in Corrie.

But once upon a time DG was a brilliant drummer. Then he turned into a Butlins red coat and never stops touring huge arenas despite not needing the money. Also flogging $250 tickets for people to see his teen daughter singing half hearted versions of Heart Shaped Box really gives me the ick. He really sold his soul to showbiz.

His personal life remains that but he’s made himself look a complete dickhead and lost the respect of his family and everyone he knows probably.

Oh god another old fool and a hypocrite in action. I bet he's been unfaithful many times before.

You just know he only made that statement because he had to.

No one makes a life changing choice to have a baby just so their affair is revealed

some do when the man is rich and famous….

  1. No one gets pregnant to create proof of an affair. A child changes your life.
  2. It takes two to tango and condoms are cheap. She couldn't have got pregnant without him allowing it.
  1. yes she’s set for life now, she got pregnant by a millionaire rock star
  2. who says he “allowed”it? She could have told him she’s in the pill.

Not excusing him at all, but any woman who has an affair with a married man is not above deliberately getting pregnant by him, especially if he’s rich and famous.

I'm FAR more disappointed in Neil Gaiman.
the recent allegations have put something that means a lot to me at risk (although he has offered to take a step back from production) and I just thought he was a decent person, and it turns out, he really isn't.

DC2008 · 12/09/2024 20:41

This is on Tattle Life from early last year re DG - “Now take this with a pinch of salt because it was not exactly a reliable person who said it to me at the time but apparently him and his wife were on the outs in 2019 and the lockdowns changed things, so perhaps it wasn't a full on cheating situation, if you get what I mean” and “There's a 90s grunge tea thread on Reddit which discusses a lot about Dave grohl’s shagger tendencies! He also cheated on his previous wife apparently.”

How does her using, or claiming to use, the Pill, stop him from wearing a condom? The Pill can fail, so any man who doesn't want to be a father should look to his own protection.
