Dave Grohl’s saga to come alive in ‘The Storyteller’
DAVE Grohl has been one of the most beloved and respected figures on the international music scene, and has taken centre-stage with his rock band Foo Fighters’ 1995 self-titled debut, the first of 10 albums in a massive 12-Grammy-winning streak, most recently including the No 1 charting Medicine at Midnight.
He has travelled the planet doing the thing he loves most – playing rock ’n roll marathons for tens of thousands of ecstatic Foo Fighter fans, but when the pandemic necessitated going into lockdown, Grohl took stock.
Channelling his creativity into writing and using his skill for storytelling, in May 2020 he wrote a moving reflection for The Atlantic on missing the thrill of live music during the Covid era that went viral.
Then, ending a longstanding self-imposed exile from social media, Grohl’s new Instagram account @davestruestories was born. This new platform became a way for Grohl to share his extraordinary (and funny) stories with fans and fellow music nuts and now he is set to build upon that momentum with his first book, The Storyteller (Simon & Schuster).
It’s as much a celebration of music as it is about the moments that have moulded him into the man he is today. “There is a common thread that runs throughout everything that I do: storytelling. Whether in song, documentary film or on the page, I have always felt compelled to share moments from my life. This inclination is a huge part of what excites me creatively but also as a human being,” Grohl said. | IANS
