* In November 2019, African-British child musical prodigy Nandi Bushell played a cover of Nirvana's "In Bloom" on her Youtube channel, getting 10 million views in a matter of weeks and attracting Grohl's attention. The next year in August 2020, she and Grohl started a friendly "drum-off battle", which ended with Grohl conceding defeat and offering to let Bushell play with the band when they were able to tour the U.K. again. Before ''that'' could happen, however, the Foos and Bushell ended up being in Los Angeles at the same time, with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bgsARH_1aw Dave bringing her onstage in front of 17,000 fans to take Taylor's place and play "Everlong" as the final song of the concert.]]
