In a set that the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jun/23/foo-fighters-secret-glastonbury-set-churnups">Guardian</a> declared &#8220;<em>recaptured their very essence</em>,&#8221; frontman Dave Grohl promised to return to the UK, and as highlighted in a tour press release, he is &#8220;<em>making good</em>&#8221; on this promise. Though Grohl may have humbly travelled to Glastonbury by <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/foo-fighters-dave-grohl-takes-train-to-perform-at-glastonbury-festival/">train</a>, his performance solidified him as the star that he is.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Foo fighters performed on Friday 23 June on the pyramid stage as a surprise to Glastonbury fans. A band called <em>‘The ChurnUps’</em> were scheduled to play on the pyramid stage at 6.15pm, with Glastonbury fans confused as no band under this name existed. There was plenty of speculation over the past few weeks, as the Foo Fighters were rumoured to be playing a surprise set at the festival. This was all due to a statement they released earlier this month. The statement <a href="https://amp.theguardian.com/music/2023/jun/23/foo-fighters-perform-surprise-set-at-glastonbury-to-huge-pyramid-stage-crowd">wrote</a><em> ‘’It feels good to see you, churning up these emotions together.’’</em> Bands such as Tenacious D, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Pulp were among those who were also rumoured to be playing within the mystery <em>&#8216;The ChurnUps&#8217;</em> set.</p>
<p>The band confirmed the news they was at Glastonbury festival prior to their surprise set on stage, posting a picture to their Instagram of a bunch of flags, with one saying <em>‘’CHURN IT UP.’’</em> The picture was captioned ‘#Glastonbury2023.<br />

<p>The Foo Fighters were welcomed to the stage by a sound wave of cheers. As Dave Grohl spoke to the crowd, he <a href="https://amp.theguardian.com/music/2023/jun/23/foo-fighters-perform-surprise-set-at-glastonbury-to-huge-pyramid-stage-crowd">said</a>, <em>‘’You guys fucking knew it was us this whole time, didn’t you? We’re happy to see you guys. It’s nice to see you guys after all this time.&#8221; </em>During their performance, Dave Grohl brought his daughter, Violet, to the stage to sing one of the band’s new songs from their recently released album, <em>‘’But Here We Are.’’</em> He explained that the song, called <em>‘’Show Me How’’</em>, was written as a tribute to his late-mother.</p>
<p>As they performed their final song, <em>&#8216;‘Everlong’</em>&#8216;, the band dedicated the song to their late-drummer, Taylor Hawkins, who passed away last March at the age of 50. Grohl <a href="https://amp.theguardian.com/music/2023/jun/23/foo-fighters-perform-surprise-set-at-glastonbury-to-huge-pyramid-stage-crowd">said</a>,<em>&#8221;Lets sing this one loud and sing for Mr Taylor.&#8221;</em> The Glastonbury crowd cheered as he continued by <a href="https://amp.theguardian.com/music/2023/jun/23/foo-fighters-perform-surprise-set-at-glastonbury-to-huge-pyramid-stage-crowd">saying</a>,<em> &#8221;Sing it for T.&#8221;</em> The Foo Fighters drumming spot has recently been taken over by Josh Freese. He was announced as the new drummer on a live stream of the band performing in early May on the app, Veeps. Josh Freese has worked with iconic bands such as Weezer, Nine Inch Nails and Glastonbury 2023 headliners Guns N’ Roses.<br />

<p>Foo Fighters sang some of their greatest hits during their Glastonbury set, including <em>‘’Best of You’’</em>, <em>‘’My Hero’’</em>, <em>‘’Learn To Fly&#8221;,</em> <em>&#8221;All My Life&#8221;</em> and ‘<em>’The Pretender.’’</em> Dave Grohl also confirmed the band will be returning to the UK next summer to embark on their highly anticipated tour. A release date for the tickets or any confirmation of where they will be performing is still yet to be announced.</p>

<p><script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script><br />
The band will play Glasgow and London respectively and will perform their album <em>Good Apollo, I&#8217;m Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow </em>in its entirety. They will also be including a mix of songs from their most recent effort, <em>Vaxis-Act II: A Window of the Waking Mind </em>which the band released last year.<br />
<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-Tb_v8MFbF8" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br />
This news will come as quite a relief to UK fans of the band, owing to the fact that Coheed and Cambria were forced to cancel two festival dates as well as four shows in Europe-the band citing personal reasons for the cancellations. The band however, will still be performing at <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/download-festival-adds-12-new-acts-to-its-line-up-including-puscifier-hundred-reasons-and-static-dress/">Download</a> Festival in <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/download-festival-celebrate-20th-anniversary-headlining-metallica-slipknot-and-bring-me-the-horizon/">Derby</a> and the two UK dates.</p>
<p>The band are currently touring the United States, before heading to the UK for Download this weekend</p>
<p>Released in 2007, <em>Good Apollo, I&#8217;m Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow </em>was Coheed and Cambria&#8217;s fourth studio album and a direct sequel to <em>Good Apollo, I&#8217;m Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness</em>. Both of these records represented a narrative that was a part of a larger story called <em>The Amory Wars.</em><br />
<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XpuDUTPJZL0" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br />
The fourth and final concept album, was a massive success for the band, debuting at number 6 on the Billboard charts and leading to a world wide tour as well as numerous headlining shows in both the US and Europe. The album is perhaps also notable for being the only Coheed and Cambria record to feature Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters fame, on drums.</p>
<p>Formed in 1995 in New York, Coheed and Cambria made a name for themselves within the burgeoning post hardcore and emo scenes. The band is has been able to carve a unique niche for themselves, with all of their albums (except one) thus far representing a concept body of work. The albums are based off of a science fiction narrative, written by big-haired guitarist and vocalist Claudio Sanchez. Seeking to further delve into the world that he created, Sanchez has also released The Amory Wars as a comic series and novel.</p>
<p>In addition to the band&#8217;s busy schedule, guitarist Travis Stever is one of five members that make up the supergroup LS Dunes. Forming during the pandemic, the band have released one album, touring the UK back in January.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At the Taylor Hawkins tribute Foo Fighters performed <em> &#8220;My Hero&#8221;</em> with late drummer Taylor Hawkins‘ son Shane from the first of two tribute concerts last weekend. The 16-year-old got behind the drums for the 1997 hit, which he previously performed in tribute to his late father in July, with the band at Wembley Stadium over the weekend. Following a performance of Hawkins’ favourite song of the band’s <em>&#8220;Aurora&#8221;</em> with David Bowie‘s drummer Omar Hakim, Grohl announced: <em>“Now, we’ve got the little guy. Let me tell you, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone hit the drums as hard as this person. But beyond that, he’s a member of our family and he needs to be here tonight with all of us and I think it makes sense that he’s going to come up and play with us tonight.”</em></p>
<p>A photo of Shane and his dad was shown on the big screen as the young drummer kicked off the performance of the 1997 single. Grohl cheered him on as Shane finished the song with an immense solo. Stewart Copeland has said that he <em>“started crying”</em> when he saw Shane drum &#8220;My Hero&#8221;. He<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWjvmHrzStA"> told CBS</a> <em>“It is very emotional to be here and perhaps the most emotional moment of this whole thing, because we’re all staying in one big hotel together and laughing it up, talking about Taylor and enjoying the brief time he was with us, all too brief. But the most emotional moment for me was at sound check a couple of days ago here and to see young Shane Hawkins on the drums. I started crying. He’s got it. He’s got such power, enthusiasm. He’s got his father’s stance, musical language. That was really emotional to see young Shane up there.” </em>You can view Shane&#8217;s performance of <em>&#8220;My Hero&#8221;</em> below.</p>

<p>At its opening on Saturday September 3, the event frontman Dave Grohl promised it would be <em>“a gigantic fucking night for a gigantic fucking person”</em> spanning almost six hours with a set list of 50 songs. This was Foo Fighters first performance since Hawkins’ untimely death back in March. Liam Gallagher kicked off the night performing two classic Oasis songs with members of Foo Fighters, while Red Hot Chili Peppers‘ Chad Smith shared a touching video story. Later, Grohl’s daughter, Violet, took to the stage to perform some Jeff Buckley covers, accompanied by her father, Queens Of The Stone Age and Them Crooked Vultures’ Alain Johannes and Jane’s Addiction‘s Chris Chaney.</p>
<p>Metallica‘s Lars Ulrich and AC/DC‘s Brian Johnson joined forces on a pair of AC/DC covers, while Mark Ronson and Violet Grohl covered <em>&#8220;Valerie&#8221;</em>. Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor then joined Foo Fighters for a five-song set, while The Eagles‘ Joe Walsh led a reunited James Gang in their first live performance in 16 years. Calling them the <em>“one band that I always associated Taylor Hawkins with”</em> Grohl joined the surviving members of Rush, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, on stage to perform some of the band’s biggest hits. The final set of the night featured Paul McCartney, Travis Barker, Nandi Bushell, Rufus Taylor (son of Roger Taylor), Josh Freese and Devo joining the Foo Fighters on stage for <em>&#8220;Times Like These&#8221;, &#8220;All My Life&#8221;, &#8220;The Pretender&#8221;, &#8220;Monkey Wrench&#8221;, &#8220;Learn To Fly&#8221;, &#8220;These Days&#8221;, &#8220;Best Of You&#8221;, &#8220;Aurora&#8221;, &#8220;My Hero&#8221; and &#8220;Everlong&#8221;</em> . Hawkins died aged 50 back in March of this year and was most known as the drummer with Foo Fighters, a second tribute show will take place at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum on September 27.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Ozzy Osbourne is set to release his 13th solo album, </span><em><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Patient Number 9</span></em><span data-preserver-spaces="true">. He sat down with <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/19487938/ozzy-osbourne-eric-clapton-aa/">The Sun</a> newspaper to discuss the line-up of legends featuring on the new record. He’s plucked stars from British rock royalty such as Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi along with America’s finest, Mike McCready (Pearl Jam), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Robert Trujillo (Metallica) and Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses).</span></p>
<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces="true">“I’ve never been someone who has guests on albums,” </span></em><span data-preserver-spaces="true">he told <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/19487938/ozzy-osbourne-eric-clapton-aa/">The Sun</a>, </span><em><span data-preserver-spaces="true">“You can’t reproduce what they do when you’re playing live but I’m blown away by those people on my record.” </span></em><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Ozzy managed to get the legendary list of names together during Covid, </span><em><span data-preserver-spaces="true">“As usual, America went over the top when the pandemic started. People were buying a thousand f***ing kitchen rolls!” “So they weren’t going on a tour bus and, for about three months, they weren’t even going out at all.”</span></em></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">He went on to say how </span><em><span data-preserver-spaces="true">“gaga”</span></em><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> it made him working with artists he admires. On working with Eric Clapton, he says, </span><em><span data-preserver-spaces="true">“He’s f***ing Eric Clapton!” “Nowadays, there are thousands of bands but in the Sixties and early Seventies, there weren’t very many in the business. And Eric Clapton was THE guitar player.”</span></em></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Someone Ozzy hadn’t worked with before was late drummer Taylor Hawkins. </span><em><span data-preserver-spaces="true">“We were with him the week before he died,” </span></em><span data-preserver-spaces="true">explains Osbourne, </span><em><span data-preserver-spaces="true">“My producer knew him so Taylor came into the studio. He just said, ‘I play for Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl’s my boss’.” “He was a nice, nice man.”</span></em></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Ozzy says the inspiration for the album&#8217;s name, Patient Number 9, is</span><em><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> “about being in a lunatic asylum and I should have probably been in a few of those,”</span></em><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> he says. The record will be released on 9th September. </span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night saw Pearl Jam take the London stage to perform their second date at this year’s American Express Present BST Hyde Park. Within the set, the “<em>Even Flow</em>” rockers paid tribute to Taylor Hawkins, the late Foo Fighters’ drummer who tragically passed away this March. Since news broke of Hawkins’ death tributes from fellow musicians have flooded in, Pearl Jam are the latest group to celebrate Hawkins’ life and legacy.</p>
<p>Frontman Eddie Vedder <a href="https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/pearl-jam-pay-tribute-taylor-090000875.html">addressed </a>the audience to pay tribute to Hawkins, “<em>There’s another guy who really loved London… we all knew him and loved and respected, and we were enlightened by him. It was one of the brutal losses we’ve had recently. I’m talking about Mr Taylor Hawkins.</em>&#8221; During the performance, Vedder also took the time to <a href="https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/pearl-jam-pay-tribute-taylor-090000875.html">acknowledge</a> those involved in the struggles currently affecting Ukraine and those fighting against Russia, “<em>I just want to send one out to the good folks fighting for their homeland back in Ukraine.</em>”</p>
<p>The grunge icons first took to London’s Hyde Park on Friday 8th July 2022, when the band embarked on their second night Vedder <a href="https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/pearl-jam-pay-tribute-taylor-090000875.html">promised</a> the crowd that they would perform &#8220;<em>all the songs we didn’t play last night</em>”. The 57-year-old singer also <a href="https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/pearl-jam-pay-tribute-taylor-090000875.html">added,</a> “<em>We are very, very grateful to you &#8211; you great bunch of humans.

<p><script src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js" async=""></script>Many fans attended both nights of Pearl Jam’s two-day residency at London’s beloved summer event, this was due to both nights having different support acts. Within the band’s second and final night they were supported by British rockers Stereophonics, legendary musician Johnny Marr, Imelda May, Temples, The Last Internationale, La Luz, The Wild Things, JJ Wilde, Tigerclub, Whispering Sons, Petrol Girls, James &amp; The Cold Gun, Peaks and Connor Selby.</p>
<p>Music fans screamed with excitement when Marr joined Pearl Jam on stage during their headlining set, the former The Smiths guitarist performed within an expanded guitar solo within a cover of “<em>Throw Your Hatred Down</em>”. The track first appeared within the Neil Young album <em>Mirror Ball</em>, released in 1995 the LP was the 21st studio album to be released by iconic musician. Famously, Pearl Jam have long been fans of Young and were featured within the album as performers as well as co-writers of selected tracks.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On March 29<sup>th</sup>, Foo Fighters announced via their socials the sudden and tragic passing of their long-term drummer and good friend Taylor Hawkins. To celebrate the lifelong achievements of their bandmate, the group confirmed 2 tribute shows in Hawkins’ name. The first at London’s Wembley Stadium on September 3<sup>rd</sup> and the second at LA’s Kia Forum on September 27<sup>th</sup>, today they have revealed the first batch of names set to appear at the London show.

<p>While there are yet to be any names confirmed for the Los Angeles date, there’s still plenty of time for information to surface. Tickets to the London show go on sale <a href="https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/taylor-hawkins-tribute-concert-london-09-03-2022/event/37005CC8F1CCA0ED?irgwc=1&amp;utm_source=361433-Linkfire&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=361433&amp;awtrc=&amp;clickId=wAJ0wAWAwxyITiqQqr3h3XOTUkD2-vSeL2yxSk0&amp;camefrom=CFC_BUYAT_361433&amp;ircid=7559">here</a> this Friday (June 17<sup>th</sup>) so if you were ever on the fence about whether or not to bag a ticket, then presumably this first announcement will have swayed you.</p>
<p>Along with the announcement of the shows, the Hawkins family also released a statement showing their gratitude towards the community created by Foo Fighters, and the general music scene he affected so greatly.</p>
<p><em>“As Taylor’s wife, and on behalf of our children, I want to share how much you meant to him and how dedicated he was to ‘knocking your socks off’ during every performance. Taylor was honoured to be a part of the Foo Fighters and valued his dream role in the band every minute of his 25 years with them. We consider every band member and the extended Foo Fighters team our family.<br />
“Taylor’s endearing spirit and deep love of music will live on forever through the collaborations he so enjoyed having with other musicians and the catalogue of songs he contributed to and created.<br />
“In celebration of his life, it is now up to all of us who loved him most to honour Taylor’s legacy and the music he gave us.”</em></p>
<p><em> </em>While some of the appearances may come as a slight surprise, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson from Rush, for instance, many of them are clear to even the public eye. Foo Fighters&#8217; relationship with Brian May and Roger Taylor (from Queen, obviously) goes way back to the <em>In Your Honour </em>tour where the band played with the pair for a rendition of ‘<em>Tie Your Mother Down’ </em>featuring Hawkins on lead vocals. You can watch the performance below.</p>

A Message from The Hawkins Family <a href="https://t.co/mOOI9PXtJD">pic.twitter.com/mOOI9PXtJD</a> — Taylor Hawkins (@taylorhawkins) <a href="https://twitter.com/taylorhawkins/status/1534522921963507712?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 8, 2022</a>

<p><script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>In a <a href="https://www.foofighters.com/news/taylor-hawkins-tribute-concerts/">statement</a> released by the band after describing Hawkins as, <em>“</em><em>One of the most respected and beloved figures in modern music”, </em>the band go on to explain, “<em>Millions mourned his untimely passing on March 25, with passionate and sincere tributes coming from fans as well as musicians Taylor idolized. The Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concerts will unite several of those artists, the Hawkins family and of course his Foo Fighters brothers in celebration of Taylor’s memory and his legacy as a global rock icon—his bandmates and his inspirations playing the songs that he fell in love with, and the ones he brought to life.”</em></p>
<p>The full line-up for the shows is yet to be announced, but given the breadth of inspiration that Hawkins drew from, and then the countless number of people who have been affected by his music; it’s safe to assume that as tributes go… this is going to be one to remember.</p>
<p>On a final note, I think it would be unreasonable not to share with you one of my personal highlights for Hawkins. My first Foo Fighters show, at Wembley Stadium for the first time, and seeing Hawkins step away from the drums and do his best Robert Plant impersonation? What a performer.</p>
