Grohl on his music life: ‘I’m like the Labrador of rock ‘n’ roll'

'Deep down, I’m just like you. I’ve worked hard to get where I am, but I obsessed over the same music you do. I’m a fan,' writes Grohl in his memoir 'The Storyteller: Tales Of Life And Music'. Photo: AP

It's hard to think of a current musician so universally accepted into the rock ‘n’ roll fraternity as Dave Grohl.

The Foo Fighters frontman dines regularly with Paul McCartney. He wrote and recorded a pandemic-era song with Mick Jagger. Joan Jett read bedtime stories to his daughters. He formed a group with Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones. He hosted a party for AC/DC with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band as surprise entertainers.
