Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters touch down at Perth Airport… after cancelling last Australian tour in the wake of drummer Taylor Hawkins’ death

Dave Grohl has arrived in Australia with his band the Foo Fighters ahead of their first national tour of the country since 2018.

On Monday, Grohl, 54, was spotted making his way through the departure lounge at Perth Airport with his band and hopping into a waiting vehicle.

The Ohio native rocked a stylish all-black look consisting of a plain t-shirt and matching pants.

He completed his look with prescription glasses, accessorised with a black baseball cap and carried a brown backpack around his shoulders. 

Grohl looked worn out from a long flight and was seen quickly jumping into a waiting black car with his band. 

The rock icon exuded an air of cool composure, setting the scene for what promises to be an electrifying tour Down Under. 

Foo Fighters are set to be performing their hits to packed crowds across Australia over the next few weeks.

The band will kick off their Aussie stadium shows in Perth on November 29, before travelling to Adelaide to play on December 2, Melbourne December 4, Sydney December 9 and Brisbane December 12.

It comes after the release of the band’s new album But Here We Are, in which front man Dave Grohl sings about his grief over losing his best friend and drummer Taylor Hawkins.

The rock band were forced to cancel their 2022 tour of Australia in the wake of the drummer’s tragic death. 

Hawkins died suddenly in his hotel room in March last year at the age of 50, just hours before Foo Fighters were due to perform at a festival in Colombia.

This will be the band’s first national tour in Australia since 2018, although they played a special one-off gig in Geelong last year.

The band has recruited drummer Josh Freese, 50, to perform with them after the tragic death of their long-time member Taylor Hawkins in March last year, from cardiac arrest.

Foo Fighters — comprising of the drummer alongside Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett and Rami Jaffee at the time— were in town for a festival performance as the band embarked on the South American leg of their tour.

In September 2022, the band hosted star-studded tribute concerts for Hawkins in both London and Los Angeles. 

With the loss of their bandmate, fans speculated when the rock stars would return until Shiflett, the guitarist, confirmed a comeback was imminent.
