Nirvana and Foo Fighters man’s memoir inspires a sparkling monologue on success, suicide and scrambled-egg sarnies
Springsteen on Broadway aside, few musicians would step away from the cocoon of their band to deliver an exhaustive, self-penned on-stage monologue about their life and career. Dave Grohl is one of the even fewer who can carry it off. The ex-Nirvana drummer and Foo Fighters singer used lockdown to write his imminent memoir, The Storyteller. Tonight, dressed all in black, lanky of body and lank of hair, he sits on a high stool and riffs on its themes via a stream of self-deprecating rock anecdotes, interspersed with one-man renditions of his greatest hits.
