Foo Fighters CANCEL upcoming Soundside music festival last minute after Dave Grohl’s love child scandal
THE Foo Fighters have cancelled an upcoming concert amid the fallout from frontman Dave Grohl's shock affair scandal.
It comes after the lead singer admitted to being the father of a secret baby outside his marriage, rocking the music world.
The band was set to perform for the first time since the scandal became public knowledge, with a show at the Soundside Music Festival in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
But they suddenly pulled out on Thursday.
A statement said: "Foo Fighters will no longer be appearing at this weekend’s Soundside Music Festival.
"Please check the festival website for more information."
Grohl, 55, had a reputation as one of rock's good guys before announcing on social media on September 10 that he had welcomed a daughter with another woman.
He said he was now working to regain the trust of longtime wife Jordyn Blum, 48, along with their three daughters.
He said: "I've recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage.
"I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her.
