Dave Grohl, singer and one of the guitarists of the Foo Fighters, announced on the FF website earlier this month that the band would be taking a break. To be clear, the band is not breaking up, but they're "not sure when [they] are going to play again."
It's understandable that the band is going on a hiatus. I mean, they've been together for eighteen years now, so I can see why they'd want to do other things. Personally, I hate routine and the thought of having a job that would force me to do the same thing every day scares me. I would never be able to be a secretary, doctor, librarian, etc. because of those reasons. Doing one thing for too long is tiring. So, after being in the same band for all those years, I'm sure that most people would want to do something else for a while. For example, Dave Grohl wrote that he plans on focusing on his Sound City documentary about the recording studio by the same name in Van Nuys, California.
Grohl promised on the website that he will never give up this band and I believe him. I'm sure that a band that's been together for this long will someday put out a new album. But for now, I wish the members of FF the best of luck on whatever it is that they're doing now.
