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

You'd think if he paid the woman enough she'd keep quiet about it. At least til the child is older.

My uncle was in a band. I was flower girl at his wedding. He died after a short illness and was very agitated on his death bed. His widow found evidence of long and short affairs dating back decades in countries across the world.

Those around Nirvana, including Courtney always called him out for the toxic arsehole he is.

To be fair he is most womens wet dream so- no surprise really

ewww is that a joke? He’s a very average looking creep.

Yeah, you're right. Started hanging around with WR right at the end of his first marriage, and was on/off with Post because WR was always in the background.

Anyway, he's notorious for typical rock star shenanigans, and was known for groupie stuff even back in the 90's. Courtney was right about him being toxic, but she's a headcase as well so I think that's just two people with enormous egos not being able to deal with not being the centre of attention in the room.

I'm still not sure why being a talented entertainer makes people assume he must be a nice person.

Because he comes across in interviews as a genuine person. I don' think it's all bullshit because this time he has adult children who will call him out, maybe privately and may be on socials. .
They need to process (the children) and to will take time. Violet Grohl is a talented artist without her Dad but they are awesome together

That is disgusting, do you live in the 1960s?

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

They absolutely do

Vintagevixen · 10/09/2024 22:34

Is anyone surprised? I think you are being naive if you think this is the only other woman. He's a rock star - they all cheat.

MissMoan · 10/09/2024 22:35

Bad form, Dave. Bad form.

His daughters have deactivated their socials according to press/ Twitter.

Not really, his band mate and friend committed suicide, surely waiting a bit longer wouldn't hurt but he would rather ride on Nirvana's legacy. If it wasn't for him being in Nirvana the Foo Fighters wouldn't have taken off like they did, I don't think they're worth the hype either. His launch of the Foo Fighters was very well timed IMO.

Nice men don't cheat on their wives and have children with their affair partner.

His band mate & friend had put him & Krist through hell for the previous few years with his heroin shenanigans, he was done & it was over, why should he wait? I love Nirvana & I know it sounds like I'm defending DG, I'm really not but fair is fair, addicts are very hard people to live/work with & trust

I think you're right about the legacy of Nirvana giving the Foo Fighters a boost but I reckon that would have happened anyway

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe · 10/09/2024 22:36

He's a fallible human who made bad decisions like thousands of mere mortals every day. His shit still stinks.

When are grown women going to stop putting celebrities on pedestals? It's pathetic, just stop it.

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

Nah. His first marriage ended because of his infidelity so I highly doubt this is an error of judgement or a one off. If you cheated in your first marriage then cheated 20 years into your second marriage then you've been fucking around the whole time. No way he took a 20-year hiatus from infidelity.

longdistanceclaraclara · 10/09/2024 22:45

I loved him but there have been rumours for a while, and I didn't appreciate his TS rant (I'm not a swiftie). Shame.

Thatcat · 10/09/2024 22:45

Courtney will love this now. Serving with a side of ‘I FUCKING TOLD YOU ALL!’

He cheated. Some good people make shit decisions sometimes.

I read the headline and thought it was gonna be about aexual assault. So this is better...I guess.

Me too so in that context it's a complete non story.

BruFord · 10/09/2024 23:09

AnneShirleysNewDress · 10/09/2024 20:58

Maybe a combination of unprotected sex and poor judgement!

That's my guess @AnneShirleysNewDress. Whoever it is was probably more interested in his wallet than him. What an idiot.

shuggles · 10/09/2024 23:10

@Soldieringnonosoldiershere ewww is that a joke? He’s a very average looking creep.

You can say what you want, but the fact is, we know of two different women who find him attractive, which is unusual for most men. And no doubt there will be numerous other women who find him attractive too.

If he's an average looking creep, and if he's disgusting for having this affair, then why are numerous women attracted to him?

NeverMindTheBackProblems · 10/09/2024 23:11

That's it. It IS all men.

Yeah, my DD loves the Foos/Dave, but was a bit 🤨 at the Taylor Swift rant.
He clearly must’ve had a lot on his mind..
