And has had another baby.

I honestly thought he was such a good bloke and it’s turns out he’s just another philandering rock star. I’m so sad for his wife and daughters.

Infidelity isn't criminal. It happens across all strata of society and always has. This guy has vastly more opportunity than the average person to cheat, and surprise surprise he's taken it. Is it that big a deal for the public? It's devastating for his family but that's a private matter for them.

I've got Oasis tickets and Liam Gallagher has more kids than fingers, can't say it's going to affect my enjoyment of the gig. All the artists we like are probably shaggers, we just don't know about it. Even that humble bloody Welsh comedian who turned out to be neither humble nor Welsh.

Drink driving and violence are career ending, or should be. But adultery goes with the territory and it always will.

There's been so much gossip about him fucking around and having tons of mistresses that I am surprised it took so long for one of them to get pregnant.

Agreed. Look at what Josh Homme (Grohl’s bestie) is subjecting his ex-wife Brody Dalle to. She hasn’t seen her children in years because he wasn’t happy that she left him due to his drug and alcohol abuse and because he head butted her. He’s a very rich man who has very rich parents and has managed to convince a judge that she’s the unstable one.

A lot of people didn’t/don’t believe her because of the accusations from her split with Tim Armstrong. I’m a massive Rancid fan ( well I was, I find it a bit icky now) but the point remains that she was 16 and he was 30, there as a huge power inbalance (and it’s disgusting because she was a child) to even begin with, let alone the accusations of abuse.
So many musicians sleeping with, dating and marrying little girls (how Anthony Kiedis hasn’t been jailed I honestly do not know). It’s so disgusting. But they’re given green card because they make music people enjoy.

I think the difference is that he has built a platform on his nice guy persona. Oasis have always hammed up the act of being dickheads - it’s part of their selling point. Dave Grohl has pretend for years to be the good guy, rumours have been swirling for decades but nothing has been concrete. Now his repeated infidelity is showing people it’s a sham.

People should expect infidelity, but Dave tightly managed his image to the point where people are shocked he would cheat.

BarbedButterfly · 11/09/2024 11:33

There have been rumours and blind items about him cheating for years. It must be awful for his wife, not only to be cheated on but for it all to be public and involve another baby.

He's got another confession to make....
He's a fool.
There goes my hero...

Genius

knackeredmu · 11/09/2024 12:06

I was there when he slagged off Ts after seeing her the day before

Totally misogynistic and unnecessary

Was so disappointed in him

Disturbia81 · 11/09/2024 13:55

FooFighter99 · 11/09/2024 11:20

I'm so disappointed in him - I know he's only human, and people make mistakes, but I liked to think he was above bullshit like this

Same.. we want to see good examples being shown to our kids, teens, men. But no they all do it. And why are they always young!

geekone · 11/09/2024 13:59

It makes me sad too, I mean I shouldn’t be surprised “Rock Star cheats” is hardly news or unusual but I loved his autobiography and his relationship seemed lovely, now seems based on lies.

my husband said maybe we will get the bonus of a new tour so he can pay for his divorce 😂 silver linings an all

@knackeredmu how did the crowd take it? He wasn’t just being rude about her but also her band and singers who are on for the duration, bar her acoustic set, and of course she has addressed this.

Bigfuckoffmarrow · 11/09/2024 14:41

Rock star cheats on wife. What an absolute shocker! 😂

Whose that? I can't work out who it is.

Same - we'd also been at TS the day before.
We actually left, it really soured the rest of the evening for us - I've seen the foos a number of times and always have a really good night, but the vibes weren't there that night and that was the cherry on top so we left and went to the pub...

Disturbia81 · 11/09/2024 15:10

I think it also feels shitty for women because you think is my husband partner only a good guy because he doesn't have opportunities to cheat, isn't rich etc
We want a man who would always say no in the face of temptation. Maybe that's truly impossible for men?
Glad I'm done with them 😂

Disturbia81 · 11/09/2024 15:11

@freezingmytoesoff I don't blame you!

That was his mistake, I think. I have seen both live but he thinks their fans are distinct groups.

Sorry @Disturbia81 replied to the wrong post!

OrdsallChord · 11/09/2024 15:27

It's also about much more than the infidelity here.

The existence of a child outside the marriage means not only that the world knows, but it also potentially fucks around with the relationships within the family too. Jordyn's children have another sibling. That's huge. It's potentially a much bigger deal than him shagging around. I can believe that some, if not all women married to men like this know the score when it comes to cheating. But another kid is a different thing again.

They went along with it - some of the mosh pit cheering

Lots of dads and sons/ groups of men together as well as mixed couples etc

It was pretty grim - I also don't think it landed as deeply with them as male band rock god behaving awfully well that's not new

He was also going on about how amazing his daughter is and how she can really sing etc - it really pissed me off

needhelpwiththisplease · 11/09/2024 16:17

Middle aged man is bored of his family life and cheats.
It's a tale as old as time !

Not a fan of Dave at all but the bad mouthing of Kristen Pfaff is news to me. What did he say about her? She was probably the most inoffensive person from that scene.

VesperLind · 11/09/2024 16:27

Amateur. Robert Plant had a baby with his wife AND his wife’s sister. That’s rock n roll.

EmeraldRoulette · 11/09/2024 16:44
