One more thing to add, first time I saw the Foo Fighters was at Starwood in Nashville( no longer there) I was 13 and you guys opened for the Peppers on the Californiacation Tour. Seeing you play, forever changed my life and I wanted that energy you played with. 👏

Hi guys, there is a french writer Victor Hugo, who described the best about the loss and grief when a piece of our soul left with someone « Tu n’es plus là où tu étais, mais tu es partout là où je suis » « You are no longer where you used to be, but you are everywhere I am » ❤️
