The Foo Fighters frontman has talked about his transition from Nirvana drummer to the lead singer of a band and revealed why he never wanted to do both at the same time. Dave Grohl thought it would be "practically impossible" to be the lead singer of a band while playing the drums. The Foo Fighters rocker is just as known for being the drummer in Nirvana, but has explained why he didn't stay behind the drum kit when fronting his own band.
First of all, only Don Henley can do Don Henley. He stopped playing the flute because he didn't have four hours a day to play it anymore. The star also says that he "didn't really need his approval" to travel the world playing music, but won his father's respect as his career advanced.
Grohl wrote: "I remember him coming to see us play at a punk rock club in Washington DC. And I think it was then that he recognised I was actually pretty good at what I did, as a drummer. He could appreciate a musician's craft.
