Dave Grohl BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
The past several days in the world of Dave Grohl have been a whirlwind of headlines, speculation, and unmistakable rockstar energy. Foo Fighters fans are buzzing after the band posted a cryptic video teaser on Instagram featuring a brightly colored parrot perched in front of their logo, set to a blistering snippet of what sounds like new music. The caption read simply, “about to take flight,” kicking off a flurry of excitement across platforms like Instagram and Threads. Major outlets including Rolling Stone and NME report that neither the track nor its release date has been revealed, but the fast-paced riff and the bird’s suggested Brazilian colors have fueled rumors about both a major single and possible South American tour on the horizon. The band’s live activity is equally headline-grabbing: earlier this month, Foo Fighters dropped a surprise live LP, “Are Playing Where Vol. I,” featuring scorching cuts from recent pop-up gigs in the US—these shows also doubled as the coming-out party for new drummer Ilan Rubin, who replaced Josh Freese after Freese’s return to Nine Inch Nails as widely covered by Vice and Channel X94.
Just as prominently, Foo Fighters’ Kobe, Japan, concert made global news and trended on X after Grohl pulled off a genuine surprise by unleashing “Breakout” in its original album form for the first time in over 20 years, a move that electrified both fans and critics. Meanwhile, Grohl’s softer side showed up online as National Geographic tagged him in serene clips of bird-watching in parklands across Asia, whispering observations—a gentle counterpoint to his onstage persona.
The biggest and potentially most biographically significant news, however, is deeply personal. Grohl issued a statement on Instagram confirming he fathered a daughter outside his longtime marriage to Jordyn Blum, a revelation first broken by The US Sun and widely circulated by outlets like Rova NZ and Parade. In the wake of viral, unsubstantiated social media posts claiming to identify the baby and her mother, Grohl’s team denied the details as fake, confirming only his intention to support the child and work to heal his family. Photographs of Jordyn Blum at tennis lessons and praise from their coach Chris Crabb became tabloid fodder, though friends and sources dismissed rumors of marital involvement with the trainer, as reported by The Post. Fans have rallied with a mixture of support and disappointment amid whispers—still unconfirmed—about a possible Foo Fighters hiatus while Grohl focuses on his family. In the background, continued tributes to his legacy surfaced, with nostalgia-heavy events celebrating Grohl’s career milestones and the 35th anniversary of his very first Nirvana gig. For Dave Grohl, this week has woven together seismic life changes, soaring new music, internet-fueled rumors, and a public navigating every chord of his next act.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
