Front man Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl, akhirnya mengumumkan secara resmi rencana bandnya untuk vakum melalui sebuah surat.
Melalui surat 'cinta' yang ditulis oleh Dave Grohl dan dirilis di official
website dan Facebook Foo Fighters, Selasa (2/3), Dave mengungkapkan
bahwa ia bahagia bersama Foo Fighters, tak pernah terlintas dalam
mimpinya bahwa Foo Fighters akan berjalan sejauh ini.
Bagi
Dave, Foo Fighters seperti sebuah keluarga dan menjadi bagian yang tak
terpisahkan dalam hidupnya. Dave juga mengucapkan terima kasih kepada
seluruh penggemarnya yang telah setia memberikan dukungan selama 18
tahun dalam menapaki terjalnya perjalanan di musik.
Ada
saat-saat ketika ketika Dave berpikir bahwa Foo Fighters akan bertahan,
ada saat-saat dimana Dave ingin menyerah. Oleh karena itu, saat ini ada
baiknya jika Foo Fighters vakum untuk sementara waktu. Menurut Dave
rehat dari berbagai kegiatan bermusik adalah hal terbaik bagi Foo
Fighters.
Sebelumnya
beredar kabar bahwa band rock asal Seattle, Amerika Serikat ini akan
bubar. Namun melalui surat 'cinta' ini, Dave Grohl menenangkan para
penggemarnya bahwa Foo Fighters tidak akan bubar, mereka hanya vakum
dari dunia musik untuk sementara waktu.
Berikut isi surat 'cinta' Dave Grohl untuk penggemar Foo Fighters:
Hey everyone...
Dave here. Just wanted to write and thank you all again from the bottom of my heart for another incredible year. (Our 18th, to be exact!) We truly never could have done any of this without you...
Never in my wildest dreams did I think Foo Fighters would make it this far. I never thought we COULD make it this far, to be honest. There were times when I didn't think the band would survive. There were times when I wanted to give up. But... I can't give up this band. And I never will. Because it's not just a band to me. It's my life. It's my family. It's my world.
Yes... I was serious. I'm not sure when the Foo Fighters are going to play again. It feels strange to say that, but it's a good thing for all of us to go away for a while. It's one of the reasons we're still here. Make sense? I never want to NOT be in this band. So, sometimes it's good to just... put it back in the garage for a while...
But, no gold watches or vacations just yet... I'll be focusing all of my energy on finishing up my Sound City documentary film and album for worldwide release in the very near future. A year in the making, it could be the biggest, most important project I've ever worked on. Get ready... it's coming.
Me, Taylor, Nate, Pat, Chris, and Rami... I'm sure we'll all see you out there... somewhere...
Thank you, thank you, thank you...
Dave
