Foo Fighters will peform in UK to promote new album
Dave Grohl's action packed year will feature an NME award, a new album, a major tour with the Foo Fighters and a cameo in the new Muppets film. Grohl has described Foo Fighters new album as "massive". It is the follow-up to 2007's Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, is set for release in Spring. He said: ''There's 11 songs and front to back there's not one sleepy ballad. It's different to any other Foo Fighters album because it just sounds big. It was really inspiring." The Foo Fighters finished work on their seventh studio album today, according to a post on the group's Twitter account Tuesday. "Ladies and gentlemen ... we are officially done. Champagne, anyone?," said the post, which was accompanied by a shot of frontman Dave Grohl holding a bottle of bubbly alongside band and crew. The as-yet-untitled 11-song album, due out in the spring via RCA Records, marks the follow-up to 2007's "Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace." Four new songs -- "Back + Forth," "White Limo," "Dear Rosemary" and "These Days" -- were previewed during a secret show in Los Angeles last month.
Back and Forth has been mooted as a possible title for the album which has been produced by alt-rock producer Butch Vig - whose credits include Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana's 1991 hit 'Nevermind' -- and Grohl said: "Butch swears that he's had more fun making this record than any other record than he's made in his life - that's a lot of records."
Following his appearance at the NME awards in February, where he will receive the Godlike Genius Award, the Foo Fighters will tour Europe this year, taking in two appearances at the Milton Keynes Bowl in July.
Dave Grohl will also be in cinemas at Christmas, in a new Muppets movie. In the film, Grohl stands in for regular Muppets drummer Animal while he attends anger management treatment as part of the movie's plot.
The new film, which is written by and stars How I Met Your Mother actor Jason Segel, also features cameos from Jack Black, Ricky Gervais and Lady Gaga.
