Dave Grohl has allayed any fans’ fears that the Foo Fighters could be on the verge of splitting, but has confirmed he is unsure when the band will become active again.
After the Foos completed a tour-ending performance in New York last weekend, Grohl unsurprisingly suggested a lengthy break is now planned following their long run of touring commitments since the release of ‘Wasting Light‘ in April 2011.
However, with some taking his comments to mean the Foo Fighters’ could be coming to an end, Grohl has now clarified their position in a letter to MTV News, writing:
“Dave here. Just wanted to write and thank you all again from the bottom of my heart for another incredible year. We truly never could have done any of this without you. Never in my wildest dreams did I think Foo Fighters would make it this far. I never thought we COULD make it this far, to be honest.”
“I’m not sure when the Foo Fighters are going to play again. It feels strange to say that, but it’s a good thing for all of us to go away for a while. It’s one of the reasons we’re still here. Make sense? I never want to NOT be in this band. So, sometimes it’s good to just put it back in the garage for a while. But, no gold watches or vacations just yet.”
