The track was assembled by the BBC in order to raise funds for the battle against the Coronavirus. It reached No.1 on the U.K. charts, featuring a wide range of guest artists – and even though Grohl himself wasn’t originally asked to be involved, he was touched to hear one of his songs was being recorded. See if you can recognize all the faces. I recognized right off the bat Simon Neil(Biffy Clyro), Rag N Bone Man, of course Dave Grohl himself and Taylor Hawkins. Also making an appearance was YungBlud, Hailee Steinfeld, and Chris Martin(Coldplay) just to name a few.
Grohl said, “To all those amazing artists who took the time to learn and sing the words that I scribbled on a bit of hotel stationery nearly 20 years ago – I am beyond humbled. You have no idea.
“I hope this new version of the song helps lift people’s spirits a little, and that the proceeds we’re donating to Comic Relief and Children In Need reach as many people affected by Covid-19 as possible.”
