Foo Fighters with Nandi Bushell Everlong live at the Forum 8/26/21

This is a magnificent pop culture moment. I wish more celebrities were like Dave Grohl.

Nandi Bushell finally got to share the stage with Foo Fighters. The rock star prodigy joined Dave Grohl and the boys at the Forum in Los Angeles, jamming “Everlong” on drums for the show’s finale. Bushell’s arena performance is the culmination of two years of Internet stardom. 

One of Bushell’s earliest viral hits was a drum cover of Nirvana’s “In Bloom” which of course was originally recorded with Grohl behind the kit. She also challenged Grohl to a drum-off and got to speak to the Foos frontman via video chat. During that chat, Grohl offered to co-write a song with her and asked if she would eventually join he and the Foo Fighters onstage. That onstage meeting finally took place last night (Aug. 26) in Los Angeles.
