Dave Grohl was more than a little honoured when BBC bosses pitched him the idea of a star-studded cover of Times Like These, calling it “one of the hugest moments in my musical life”.
The Foo Fighters star appears alongside a host of big musical names on the cover of the band’s classic tune by the Live Lounge Allstars to raise money for the World Health Organization’s COVID-19-Solidarity Response Fund – the video for which premiered on BBC One’s Big Night In on Thursday night.
Speaking to Zoe

Dave Grohl has envisioned the return of live music performances in an emotional op-ed.
Dave Grohl lives to rock. Performing for a massive crowd is the Foo Fighters' singer's oxygen. If you've ever seen him perform you can tell that Grohl gets as much energy from an arena or stadium crowd as he gives, which is a huge amount. That's why it's not surprising that he's super bummed to be at home, off the road, during the COVID-19 pandemic that has put his band's plans to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their debut album this summer on ice.
Dave Grohl knows firsthand how meaningful live music can be — and he’s not giving up hope that the world can experience it again soon as the coronavirus threat eases.
"But I do know that we will do it again, because we have to"
The Foo Fighters have spent 25 years rocking your rocks off. But on their upcoming as-yet-untitled 10th album they're ready to loosen things up a bit. In an interview with L.A. radio station 98.7, Dave Grohl compared the next chapter in the band's evolution to an iconic 1983 David Bowie pop crossover album.
"I was honoured," Grohl said
"It's kind of like a dance record – it's got groove"
