Foo Fighters invited “superfan” Michael Bublé on stage for a rendition of the Canadian crooner’s signature song ‘Haven't Met You Yet’ at a US festival on Saturday night (11th August).

Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett, Rami Jaffee and Josh Freese were midway through their headline set at Outside Lands at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco when Grohl spotted a man in the crowd holding an ‘I love Bublé’ sign, and said “This mother------ better know the song!"

At certain dates on Foo Fighters’ current global tour, the band have been playing a snippet of Bublé’s 2009 song ‘Haven't Met You Yet’ as part of the covers medley in their set.

As the video below shows, the fan in the audience holding the sign was in fact Michael Bublé himself, and he joined Foo Fighters on stage to belt out the swing track.

Dave Grohl quipped: “We’ve been doing that thing where people from the audience come up and say ‘I know that f------ song,’ and they walk up and they know the first verse, they don’t know it.

“So this badass mother------, and I’m not even kidding, flew in today from Argentina to f------ sing that song to you guys. Because there’s no such thing as taking a joke too far.”

Watch Michael Bublé sing on stage with Foo Fighters:

New Foo Fighters drummer Josh Freese has previously worked with Michael Bublé, performing on his 2009 album ‘Crazy Love’ and 2011’s ‘Christmas’ as a session musician.

Last month, Foo Fighters invited Alanis Morissette on stage with them at the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan to duet on a cover of ‘Mandinka’ in tribute to Sinead O’Connor.

Foo Fighters will grace the UK in June 2024 for a completely sold out headline stadium tour.

The Foos are currently touring their “emotionally raw” 11th studio album ‘But Here We Are’, which debuted at Number 1 in the UK on 9th June just ahead of Noel Gallagher’s ‘Council Skies.’

Dedicated to Taylor Hawkins and Dave Grohl’s late mum Virginia, ‘But Here We Are’ has spawned the singles ‘Rescued’, ‘Under You’, ‘Show Me How’, ‘The Teacher’ and ‘The Glass.’
