Dave Grohl ‘ready to take Foo Fighters break’

Dave Grohl is "ready to take a break" from Foo Fighters.
The US rockers have been busy touring their latest ‘Concrete & Gold’ album of late, and while the 49-year-old singer is keen to have a period of rest, he is determined to "do it again at some point".
He said: "It’s a challenge, you know? You kind of set these goals for yourself, to see if you can do it again, even when you’re crawling to the finish line you know that it’s there.
"So here we are at the last set of shows we’ve been on for a year and a half and I’m ready to take a break but I’m ready to do it again at some point."
The former Nirvana drummer also hinted there will be a new Foo Fighters record when the group – also made up of Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Taylor Hawkins, Chris Shiflett and Rami Jaffee – return to action following a self-imposed break, admitting he has already seen new material in his head.
Speaking on Billboard’s ‘Chart Beat’ podcast, he added: "When we start making records it’s almost like I don’t hear the song as much as I can see them, in my head. So I don’t read music, I see music in kind of shapes and patterns, so I can see the next record, I know that there is another one there, I don’t know when but I think I know what we should do.
"We’ve been lucky, we’ve had this lightning rod that we’ve followed for f***ing 24 years, or whatever and it takes us where we think we should go."
Dave formed the ‘Monkey Wrench’ hitmakers in 1994 following the dissolution of Nirvana when his bandmate Kurt Cobain took his own life in the same year.
