The battle for Nicest Man In Rock seems to be a straight shoot-out between Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant and Nirvana/Foo Fighters/Loads of Other Bands Which We Won’t Mention Yet Because We Need To Hang On To Their Names For The Rest Of The Article’s Dave Grohl. Well, nice man Mr Drummer Boy has recently been rushed to hospital.
Grohl recently posted a video online with his Them Crooked Vultures bandmates explaining that he’d had an overdose.
Yep, lovely David had been overdoing it and started getting chest pains and had to be taken in for observation. So what is it? Cocaine? Smack? Alas not. In typical Grohl style, the daft twat has overdosed on caffeine and gone and made a funny video about it all.
Thanks to the video being daft, many fans fans seemed to think the whole thing was a joke.
However, Grohl has confirmed that it was in fact real though and he had to be taken to hospital after drinking too much coffee. He told Absolute Radio:
?We were in the studio making a record and I was drinking a lot of coffee.?
?I was doing Vultures stuff at night, Foo Fighters stuff during the day and I had a newborn at home so I was sleeping two-three hours a night on an air mattress in a guest bedroom.
?And yeah, I had too much coffee, I started to get chest pains so I went to the hospital and they told me to stop drinking the coffee.?
So there you have it. He’s fine really. That headline was a bit too serious for what actually unfolded. Now, here’s that video which features Grohl & Co horsing around with fresh pots! And it still might be a joke.
He’s a cad that Grohl!

Pointless comment is pointless.
This story is going to crop up on Never Mind The Buzzcocks in the near future, surely, and I for one will be smug that I will know what they’re on about.
