Foo Fighters hires Nick Lachey to replace frontman Dave Grohl, who's launching his solo career. At least that's what the band wants fans to believe in a new video they have just released online in response to swirling rumors about their break-up.
According to a previous report, the group was said to be feuding over Grohl's supposed plan to go solo. In a separate video that surfaced online earlier on Wednesday, March 2, Taylor Hawkins said that he and his bandmates were just taking an "indefinite i hate us" because "the world needs a break from us for a little while."
Later in the day, the Foos shared their official response to the rumors in a hilarious YouTube video that starts with Grohl announcing his decision to be a solo artist following his performance at the 2016 Oscars last weekend.
"Seeing as how the Academy Awards thing went so well, I got to thinking that maybe it's time, ya know? Maybe it's time for me to do my own thing," he says. Later, the other Foo Fighters members gather to discuss who will replace Grohl as lead vocalist.
They list everyone from Justin Bieber and Phil Collins to Prince and Liam Gallagher before Nick Lachey shows up and performs "Everlong" alongside the band during an audition. The 7-minute clip concludes with the real announcement that reads, "For the millionth time, we're not breaking up. And nobody's f**king going solo!"
