Validation was an insatiable monster': Dave Grohl on Foo Fighters' punk-rock return  and life after his infidelity
"I've been in therapy six days a week for 70 weeks, he says. I did the maths the other day: over 430 sessions. Even by US standards, that is a lot but if anyone needed to work out who they are and why they were doing what they were doing, it was Grohl."
"Grohl's mother, Virginia - my best friend, my hero, my entire world, he says - died four months later. The grief informed Grohl's richest songwriting in years on the 2023 album But Here We Are."
"In September 2024, he had a confession to make, which seriously dented that nice-guy reputation: I've recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside my marriage, he posted online."
Dave Grohl has undergone extensive therapy, attending over 430 sessions to understand himself after the traumatic end of Nirvana and the loss of close friends. He formed Foo Fighters, achieving success with hits while maintaining a low-drama approach. Grohl's personal life includes a marriage and three daughters, but he faced significant grief with the deaths of his bandmate Taylor Hawkins and his mother. This grief influenced his songwriting for the 2023 album 'But Here We Are.' In 2024, he revealed the birth of a daughter outside his marriage, complicating his public image.
