After introducing new dummer Josh Freese, Grohl grew emotional as he played 'Cold Day In The Sun,' which was written by Hawkins, who died in March of 2022.

May 24 marked a significant event for the Foo Fighters.

They took the stage at the Bank Of New Hampshire Pavilion at Meadowbrook in Gilford, New Hampshire, marking their first performance since announcing Josh Freese as their new drummer.


Unsurprisingly, it was an emotionally charged show for Dave Grohl, particularly when he decided to dedicate a song to the band's late drummer Taylor Hawkins.

In between songs, Grohl addressed the audience, saying:

“Would you please welcome the man behind the drums Josh Freese, who has helped save the band."
"We would not be here tonight if it weren’t for Josh, so everybody give Josh a big f*cking round of applause, please.”

The crowd responded accordingly, prompting Grohl to continue, albeit with a momentary pause to compose himself, seemingly holding back tears.

He proceeded:

“Now, I have to say that this is…something I never thought I’d have to do.”

After a brief pause, he added:

“I’m going to try to do it."
"Taylor wrote this song. We used to sing it together, so I’m going to do it for him tonight.”

With that, he proceeded to perform "Cold Day In The Sun"—a track penned and originally sung by Hawkins and featured on the band's 2005 album In Your Honor.

As Grohl sang and played his acoustic guitar, a silhouette of a hawk appeared on a screen behind him.

When the song ended, Grohl concluded with the words:

"That was for you, Taylor."

Watch the emotional moment here.

Fans everywhere were touched deeply.










Best wishes to Grohl and the Foo Fighters. We feel your pain.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
