Foo Fighters have premiered their gloriously immature and revolting new video for their latest single ‘Love Dies Young.’

Written and directed by Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, the video starts with actor and comedian Jason Sudeikis, who plays an American synchronised swimming coach, giving five swimmers a two-minute pep talk.

When the swimmers take to the pool, they turn around to reveal the faces of five sixths of the Foo Fighters - Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Taylor Hawkins, Chris Shiflett and Rami Jaffee.

Foo Fighters’ swimming competition routine is all going swimmingly well until a mystery floating poo appears in the pool sending them into a panic.

With the flustering Foos juggling the poo between them, the judges on the side of the pool start vomiting in disgust. Delightful stuff.

However, if you think that’s stomach churning enough, wait until Foo Fighters guitarist Pat Smear makes his appearance at the end of the video….

‘Love Dies Young’ is the closing track on Foo Fighters’ tenth studio album, which stormed straight in at Number 1 when it was released in February.

Foo Fighters play four sold out English stadium shows in June and July 2022 taking in Manchester, Birmingham and two nights at London Stadium.
