We used to go on the road for three months at a time.
It’s a struggle for me to leave for even 12 days."
He is also the bang out of dad who drops his kids at school and packs their lunches.
Meet Dave Grohl’s three girls.
“It’s all about the ‘Rehab’ song.
I know it’s a little weird, but it’s really cute!”
the proud father told People of his toddler in 2008.
With this performance, she proved just how exceptionally talented she is.
She also joined the band on the North American leg of their tour to sing backup.
In 2023, the father and daughter duo appeared onstage again, this time at the 2023 Glastonbury Festival.
Dave is his daughter’s biggest supporter, and he has big dreams for her future.
“Violet is an incredibly talented musician,” Dave toldBBCin 2021.
“She can pick up an instrument and learn it within a week.
She has perfect pitch and sings from her gut.
To be her drummer is one of my life dreams.”
It was with great excitement that the musician posted about their collaboration onInstagram.
And with this in mind, who better to collaborate with than Violet?
In the post, the doting dad praised his daughter for her singing abilities and shared his pride.
The rocker also dug into his familial connection to the song: X’s drummer, D.J.
Bonebrake, is his cousin.
“It was a moment that superseded anything musical.
A life moment that I will cherish forever.
A family moment.”
Dave echoed this sentiment on an episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
She also has a septum piercing.
Luckily, the two pieces that followed yielded better results.
Harper Grohl loves art
Harper Willow Grohl is Dave Grohl and Jordyn Blum’s second child.
Born on April 17, 2009, Harper’s got a majorly creative side.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Like Willow, Dave has a deep appreciation for art especially works created by Foo Fighters fans.
The Foo Fighters frontman has been known to take to the canvas from time to time, too.
In 2023, Dave pumped out some works of art for theSea.Hear.Now Festivalthat went up for auction.
One of the sketches featured a basic beer bong construction guide.
“[McCartney] sits down at the piano, and he starts playing ‘Lady Madonna.’
In my f***ing house!
My mind is blown; I can’t believe this is happening.”
They sat together, and he was showing her what to play," Grohl said.
During that impromptu jam session, McCartney and Harper wrote a song together.
Alas, Harper’s love for the piano was short-lived.
“She’s like, ‘I want to be a drummer.’
I’m like, ‘Are you out of your mind?!'”
And what do you know, Ophelia happily obliged.
He also said that he believes music competition reality shows are “destroying” the industry.
It should come as no surprise that he has some opinions about what his kids listen to.
“The worst thing [my kids] impose on me is Katy Perry’s latest album.
Dave also found it cool that Harper Grohl is familiar with Nirvana.
He said on “The Howard Stern Show” in 2021.
“And ‘Come as You Are ‘came on the radio, and she started singing.
She’s saying every word!
That to me, that feels good.”
“I think this will work,” he stated.
“My kids know who I am, okay?
Grohl has also publicly discussed the value of education and the importance of teachers.
“When you have kids, you see life through different eyes,” he toldTimein 2009.
“You feel love more deeply and are maybe a little more compassionate.
It’s inevitable that that would make its way into your songwriting.”
In an interview withThe Guardianin 2017, she praised her son for being a hands-on father.
And yes, just as his mom said, he’s involved in all the day-to-day minutiae.
As he told Time in 2009, “I used to tour nine months out of the year.
Now I don’t like being away from my kids for more than 12 days.”
