Dave Chappelle Teams Up with Foo Fighters Live
During their recent solo performance at Madison Square Garden, iconic rock band Foo Fighters made a triumphant return to the stage after a long hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event, attended by a large audience of fully vaccinated fans, was met with disapproval from anti-vaccination demonstrators outside the venue.
In a statement preceding the show, frontman Grohl expressed his excitement for the long-awaited performance. “We have been eagerly anticipating this moment for over a year,” he declared. “Prepare for an electrifying night of music at Madison Square Garden. New York, brace yourselves for a raucous celebration of 26 years of Foos.”
The night was filled with timeless hits as well as captivating cover songs, including a special appearance by comedian Dave Chappelle as the lead vocalist for their rendition of Radiohead’s “Creep.” Additionally, drummer Taylor Hawkins took center stage for a cover of Queen’s “Somebody to Love,” and the band treated the audience to a track from their latest Bee Gees tribute album, “Hail Satin.”
The Foo Fighters just brought out Dave Chappelle to sing “Creep” for the first concert at Madison Square Garden since covid. Incredible.

As the show progressed, Grohl took a moment to reflect. With a grin, he turned to guitarist Pat Smear and the audience, asking, “Did you miss it? Me too. Tonight wouldn’t have been possible without the support of many individuals who have aided us on this journey.”
Marking the band’s 26th anniversary, the performance subtly hinted at what was meant to be their delayed 25th anniversary celebration, postponed by a year due to the pandemic. The concert was also a tribute to the late stage manager of the band, Andy Pollard, who passed away on June 18.
