Foo Fighters could sabotage their huge concert at Anfield stadium this summer because of their allegiance to rival football club Arsenal.
The band are headlining a massive show at the home of Liverpool football club on June 25 in support of their ace new album, Your Favorite Toy. However, guitarist Chris Shiflett happens to be a massive Arsenal supporter and is seriously mulling over doing something in tribute of his beloved Gunners at the rival ground.
The rocker spilled: "I'm an Arsenal supporter. It's going to be hard to resist doing something at Anfield, but I don't want to get bottled off the stage either."
Arsenal have stumbled in their quest for a first Premier League title in 20 years so Chris is asking the whole. band to get behind the team: "I am hopeful we are going to win the league."

To which an astounded Dave Grohl quipped: "We?"
Chris responded: "We're all doing our part. You should do your part too Dave."
However, Dave is clearly concerned with upsetting any of the band's fansbase and said: "What is this language you speak? I have no skin in this whatsoever. I love everybody, come see us play, please."
Nevertheless Chris is well invested in the Arsenal and told Absolute Breakfast: "It's a weird season, though, 'cause, like, we've had these multiple moments where we could have really cemented it. It's super frustrating as a supporter, but I'm hopeful."
Meanwhile Dave Grohl has been talking about his daughter Violet who is about to release her debut solo album, just a month after daddy.

He said: " With Violet, I knew that she had a beautiful voice and had amazing pitch and sang with depth and something beyond just the sound of it. There was a lot of feeling to what she would sing, when she was, like, eight years old.
"And then as she got older, maybe around 13, she's, like, 'Hey, I wanna make a record.' And I said, 'Okay, well, you have to write songs.' And I didn't tell her how to do it. I think I gave her, like, a pen and a notebook, and I said, 'Just start writing stuff.' And she did. And she taught herself all of the instruments that she plays by ear and just learned in her bedroom.
"There were times where I'd walk downstairs and pick up a guitar it'd be in some freaky tuning, and I'm, like, 'What is this tuning?' And she'd say, 'Oh, that's a Joni Mitchell tuning.' And I'm, like, 'Really?' She goes, 'Yeah, check it out.' And then she starts doing this intricate Joni fingerpicking thing, where I'm, like, 'Where the f*** did you learn how to do that?' And she was kind of woodshedding in her bedroom."

Dave added: "She wanted to leave school to play music. I was, like, 'Just stick through it. Stay in school.' And then right when she graduated, she met with her producer, Justin Raisen. And I had nothing to do with the recording. She would come home and play me things, and she wouldn't really ask for advice.
"Now, as she's getting deeper into stuff, we will sit and talk and talk about kind of the bigger picture of things. 'Cause getting thrown into it is — it's a lot. But no, I didn't wanna be a stage dad."
