Dave Grohl mistook a grieving son for a drunken, crying man during concert
During a recent show in Greenwood Village, Colorado, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl spotted a man crying in the audience and brought him on stage. “Don’t cry motherfucker. I know you’re drunk, don’t cry,” said Grohl midway through the song. “Are you crying right now? You’re fucking crying aren’t you? I love you man, look at you, holy shit. You know what, fuck that speech I was just going to make, I’m singing this shit to you right now. I’m gonna sing this fucking song right in your face, man to man, prison style.”

It turns out, the man wasn’t drunk at all, but rather he was grieving his deceased mother who passed away six months ago, (via NME). “My mum died about six months ago and I just got back from Europe putting her in her crypt. He (Grohl) started singing it and I felt all emo,” he admitted during a live call with Colorado radio station KBCO. “I was dead sober,” he unabashedly claimed. “I don’t drink. I might have had a little Colorado green but I’m not a drinker. I was crying, I’m not afraid to cry.”
