Foo Fighters were forced to cut their Queens stadium show short due to "dangerous weather".
Foo Fighters had 'no choice' but to end their concert due to danger to life weather
Dave Grohl and co were left "so disappointed" to have to end their 20-song set after just 13 tracks at The Citi Field in New York, amid a torrential downpour and thunderstorm.
In a social media statement afterward, they said: “We are so disappointed that we were unable to play our full set for tonight’s fantastic crowd at Citi Field. But the safety of our fans, the crew and everyone working in the stadium comes first, so when it was determined that there was no safe way to continue the show in this dangerous weather, we had no choice but to call it a night.
“We’re grateful for every second we were able to play for you and looking forward to seeing you again – maybe as soon as Friday!”
The ‘Everlong’ group will play the venue again this Friday (19.07.24).
Meanwhile, Geezer Butler was a surprise guest at their final UK show of their 'Everything Or Nothing At All Tour'.
The 'Monkey Wrench' hitmakers performed at Villa Park in Aston, Birmingham - the home of Premier League football team Aston Villa, who Geezer is a huge fan of - last month to see out the last leg of their UK run of gigs, and the 75-year-old Black Sabbath bassist joined the rockers for a special performance.
Dave teased fans about a special guest "who grew up three streets away from here", and he told the crowd the mystery star had "never played" at the football stadium of his beloved Villa.
He then said: "Geezer Butler from Black Sabbath is going to come out!"
The Foos and Geezer launched into a version of Black Sabbath hit 'Paranoid', which saw Dave perform Ozzy Osbourne's vocals.
Geezer didn't interact with the crowd, preferring to let his bass do the talking.
Earlier in the show, Dave quipped that Birmingham is the "most beautiful city" in England after a rainbow broke out over Villa Park.
He said: "What is this, Hawaii? Birmingham is the most beautiful city in this entire country!
"I feel like I'm on vacation."
Earlier that week, Foo Fighters performed at West Ham United's London Stadium, and Dave, 55, ended the rock group's pair of gigs there by throwing open the doors to his very own Duke of York boozer inside the dressing rooms.
Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney, 82, and U2 frontman Bono, 64, were all invited.
A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "Dave knows how to party and loves a drink-up. He opened his own pub for his VIPs - and they stayed up until 6am going at it.
"They drank the bar dry after their last show and it was light by the time everyone started getting cars home."
