Dave Grohl: 'I Cried When Neil Peart Made Me Coffee'

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has admitted he broke down in tears when Rush drummer Neil Peart made him a cup of coffee recently.

Dave and his Foos bandmate Taylor Hawkins inducted Rush into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame last week where they also joined forces with the Canadian band for a rendition of ‘2112’ dressed in wigs and kimonos.

Dave enthused: "It's terrifying to play your favourite band's song in front of your favourite band. It's one thing to sit in the basement and woodshed 2112 – it's another to stand in front of Rush in a f**king kimono and a wig, and try to use a wah-wah pedal in your platform shoes."

However, it was his childhood hero Neil Peart’s friendliness and hospitality during rehearsals that truly blew Grohl away.

He continued to Rolling Stone: "I met Neil Peart for the first time at rehearsal. This man was as influential to me as any religion.

“And he said, 'So nice to meet you, can I make you a coffee?' And he made me a coffee. Later on that night, I went to dinner and had a couple glasses of wine and I started f***ing crying, because my hero made me a coffee."

Foo Fighters are currently working on the follow-up to 2011’s chart-topping ‘Wasting Light’.
