Fresh off a star-studded set at the DirecTV Super Saturday Night event in Atlanta this weekend, Foo Fighters have some bad news for New Orleans-based fans. On Monday (February 4), the band announced on Twitter that they'd no longer be playing at the Fillmore this month as part of the venue's opening celebrations due to an undisclosed member injury. The shows will be rescheduled for mid-May.
