Why do nights like this never happen to us - when you get casually asked to dinner by a collection of music icons? Well, it does if your name's Dave Grohl and you happen to be pals with a Beatle.
Grohl appeared on a video interview with Anders Bøtter's on Tiny TV and told him how the hookup happened. He said: “I wasn’t performing at the Grammys; I was presenting an award or something. I’m lucky to say that Paul McCartney is a friend and I love him very much. As much as he’s a hero of mine, he’s also a very sweet man and a friend.
“And so he was in town too. And he called and said, ‘What are you doing after the Grammys?’ I said, ‘I think maybe me and Pat Smear and Taylor Hawkins are just gonna have dinner.’
"And he said, ‘Do you mind if me and Nancy Paul’s wife come?’ I’m, like, ‘No. That’d be great.’
“So then he bumps into AC/DC in a hotel or something. And then they say, ‘What are you doing after the show?’ And he says, ‘I’m gonna go have dinner with the Foo Fighters.’
"And Paul said, ‘Do you wanna come?’ So Paul’s wife calls my wife, and then my wife says, ‘Hey, do you mind if AC/DC comes to dinner?’ And I had never met AC/DC.”

He concluded: “So then we had this beautiful night. And there was this jazz band and it was one of the greatest nights of my entire life.”
The BBC has just announced that the super star will be giving an access-all-answers for its series Reel Stories airing on BBC Two on March 27. It will be followed by a much-needed showing of Foo Fighters’ previoius 2019 Reading Festival set.
