Foo Fighters fans are worried that Dave Grohl’s voice is damaged.
After a recent show in Antwerp (Belgium), a fan voiced his concerns about Grohl’s voice on the Foo Fighters’ Reddit page:
“I was at the Antwerp gig last night, and I thought the state of Dave’s voice was kind of worrying – towards the final third it began cutting out entirely (noticeably on Breakout).
“As great as the show was, it’s fair to say that the set is now geared around preservation – from the sharing of vocal duties with Taylor & Chris, to the drum solo break, to the extended instrumentals of all the major hits. He’s even toned down the screaming now (unless the song calls for it), opting for a ‘woooo!’ instead.”
Other fans quickly took to the comment section to agree.
One fan added: “Listening to the live Switzerland performance going on right now, and I was going to ask the same thing. Seems like he’s out of breath and can’t get through an entire song. And, yeah, he’s basically howling like a wolf instead of hitting the big screams.”
Another fan commented:
“It’s a miracle it’s held up this long tbh, given that he’s a smoker who doesn’t seem to take particular care of his voice and screams all night long on a regular basis.”
Could this be the beginning of the end for the Foo Fighters?
