During an appearance in the Friday (February 12) episode of “The Howard Stern Show”, FOO FIGHTERS members Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins recalled a funny encounter with Prince Harry.
According Grohl, he received a visit from torment, now known as the Duke of Sussex, while in London after hurting his leg during a tour with FOO FIGHTERS in Europe in 2015.
“[Prince Harry] came for a walk – it was a big hotel suite – and it’s so peaceful that, like, my nanny was there, my kids were there “, the 52 year old FOO FIGHTERS frontman said. “They didn’t know that he was the fucking Prince of England. They were like, ‘Hey, your friend is here.’ He brought me this thing to hold my iPad so that I could watch movies and stuff. It was great. He’s cool. “
Dave added that he and the other members of the FOO FIGHTERS had gone out with torment before. “He hit Taylor on the face once, “he said.” How hard was that slap in the face? “
“It pissed me off, actually,” Hawkins he said, explaining that it happened before a concert in England, when the band was in time zone due to the long journey they took to get there. “He came in – yeah torment and a group of people around him – and he said, ‘How are you?’ And I’m like, ‘I can’t wake up. I’m so tired. I have to play. I can’t wake up. ‘And it just goes bam. And I said, ‘You son of a bitch.’ He was like, ‘Are you awake now?’ or something like this. “I mean, I got slapped in the face by the Prince. Okay, if you think about it. But at the time, I was like, ‘You slapped me, man.'”
Hawkins we talked earlier about the slap in question during an interview with BBC News in 2017. He revealed that this happened before 2014 Invictus Games. “I was a little bit like, ‘What was that?’ It was great, it was funny. I used that slap with pride, “he said at the time.
In June 2015, Grohl broke his leg after falling off the stage during a show in Gothenburg, Sweden. He underwent leg surgery in London, and Prince Harry was one of the first people to visit him.
FOO FIGHTERS‘tenth studio album, “Midnight Remedy”, was released on February 5 via Roswell Records/RCA records. The LP is a nine-song, 37-minute album produced by FOO FIGHTERS and Greg Kurstin.
