This won’t be the Foo Fighters’ first foray into disco. Back in February, the stadium rock band covered You Should Be Dancing by the Bee Gees on Jo Wiley’s Sofa Sessions for BBC Radio 2 in February.
During the appearance, Dave Grohl remarked, “I have never, ever in my life sung like that, but it was the easiest song I have ever sung in my entire life! I sang the song, and it was like six minutes and I was done. I should have been singing like this for the last 25 years!”
