Another confession to make: Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's recent revelation shocks the music industry

The music industry is no stranger to scandals and speculation.

Beyond the loud music and cheers from fans, unexpected news could also silence crowds.

Despite being tagged as a role model for musicians, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame awardee's recent confession shocked the industry.


Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl wrote a revelation that stunned his colleagues and fans.

Through a social media post, the 55-year-old musician disclosed a deeply personal matter.

'I've recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,' the 'Learn to Fly' composer wrote.

'I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.'

'We're grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together,' he concluded.

The mother of the newborn daughter remains undisclosed.


More than just a legendary rock music figure, Grohl has been known for his seemingly stable family life.

Dave Grohl and Jordyn Blum, who have been together since 2003, are parents to three daughters—Violet Maye, Harper Willow, and Ophelia Saint.

Their relationship, which began with a chance encounter in West Hollywood back in 2001, has been a testament to the power of second chances.

In a 2007 interview with Elle, Grohl recounted how he initially pulled away from Blum, only to realise later that he could not be without her.

Grohl, who first rose to fame as the drummer for Nirvana, often spoke about fatherhood and its impact on him.

In another interview with Time, Grohl shared how his priorities shifted after having children.

He wanted to be present in their lives and acknowledged how parenthood had influenced his music and creativity.


Despite the personal turmoil, Grohl and Blum were seen together in public at Wimbledon in London this year, watching a tennis match.

The recent sighting and revelation raised questions about the timeline of events and the state of their relationship.

Grohl's personal life had several ups and downs—including his previous marriage to photographer Jennifer Youngblood, which ended in 1997.

However, this latest development could be one of the most significant challenges he has faced.

This revelation is a stark reminder that even the most admired public figures deal with complex lives away from the spotlight.

Since the dawn of time, things like this have happened.
I have to smirk at the headline on this thread that asked How did this happen?
Well, when a man meets a women and ...... need I say more.
The only person I have any real sympathy for in situations like this is the child. The egg and seed providers just need to put their over inflated ego in check and do what is right for the baby.

One of my daughters had a night of passion following her divorce & got pregnant. Telling us of her pregnancy, she added, 'l don't know how it happened'.
'With 2 boys already you don't know how it happened dear?
'No, l mean l was on the pill'.
Guess she took seriously that which was poked at her in fun?
 
Who is at fault here, the married man who committed adultery or the woman who thought it was okay to sleep with a married man. Both pieces of scum if you ask me. One should have learnt to keep it in his pants by now and the other should not have been shopping around for a man who was already taken. Hate both these types of people and if I was his wife he would be long gone by now. Wouldn't get a 2nd chance to to the same thing again.
 
Get cut & then you won't get caught. Simple. Worked fine for myself being 7 yrs between marriages. Made sure I wasn't going to cop the blame for something not of my doing.

I agree with you. He's obviously not thinking about his children by making this announcement public and certainly doesn't respect them or think about their feelings and the chance they may be bullied at school.Apparently the pill isn't 100% foolproof either.
 
Disappointing, I had the uttmost respect for this man!
I must admit I feel let down, how sad for his family
Now Grohl has stated he consulted his Solicitor before making this announcement. He never indicated what he needed to know.

What advice did he think a solicitor would give him about this situation?
