Good guy Dave Grohl is at it again. The legendary former Nirvana drummer and now Foo Fighters front man stopped a show recently to make the wish of a visually disabled fan come true.
On the night of February 26th, 2015 at a Foo Fighters show at ANZ Stadium in Sydney, Australia a blind man held up a sign to the stage reading "Drumstick for a blind guy". Grohl having a reputation for being the "nicest guy in rock" stopped the show to comply with the devoted fan's request. In the clip in the link below you can watch video of the event and even see Grohl shouting over to drummer Taylor Hawkins "Give me a drumstick".
Anyone wondering how a proper rockstar should behave should look no further than Grohl. He is always doing wonderful things for fans and people in general. One of the most substantial acts of kindness on Grohl's part was when in 2006 two miners were trapped after the Beaconsfield mine collapse in Tasmania, Australia. One of the miners while waiting to be rescued requested an iPod with the Foo's at the time most recent album In Your Honor. In addition to that, Grohl also sent a note of support and offered them two free tickets to any Foo Fighters show once they got out; which he made good on.
That being said, it's pretty difficult to find a reason to hate the guy, wouldn't you say?
