Foo Fighters confirm they are not definitely not breaking up in hilarious video poking fun at split reports

'And nobody’s going f*cking solo'

Contrary to the dozens upon dozens of reports stating that the Foo Fighters are splitting up, the Foo Fighters have announced they are definitely not splitting up.

Yesterday, we posted a debunker stating that a spokesperson had already said the reports were ‘utterly ridiculous’, and now the band has posted a video online poking fun at the speculation.

In the hilarious seven-minute clip, Dave Grohl attempts a solo career, hoping to modernise his sound by ditching the guitar for an electronic keyboard. Meanwhile, the other four Foos attempt to bring in a new singer as their old frontman has gone ‘fully Hollywood’.

“For the millionth time, we’re not breaking up,” reads the blunt message at the end. “And nobody’s going f*cking solo.”

Speculation started when PageSix posted a report stating the band were set to split up, rumours pointing to Grohl eyeing up a solo project. A spokesperson soon labelled it a hoax, yet numerous other publications still published the false rumours.

In 2015, the band released an EP titled St. Cecilia, along with a message from Grohl that hinted at leaving the project behind: “We could use a nice wander through the woods right about now. Another empty journal, another tap on the shoulder … those things are never far behind. It’s what lies ahead in those woods that excites me now….”

Later in the year, however, the ex-Nirvana drummer said they wouldn’t split as the group were like family: “It’s a family and it’s become a way of life with us. We love each other.”

Few. Thank the rock Gods for that. Foo Fighters were expected to announce something after they Tweeted a big announcement was coming, yet they didn’t announce anything other than they’re not breaking up. But, if they hadn’t said there was a big announcement, no-one would have thought they were breaking up. Perhaps something more to come?
