verybody knows Dave Grohl is the nicest man in

rock, but now the Foos have established themselves

as the kindest, most thoughtful band as a collective.

When the rock legends played two sold-out shows

at Croatia’s famous Pula Arena last week, not only was it the

first event in the country to do away with single-use plastics

(by utilising washable cups, which featured an illustration of

the Foos and were designed to be taken home) but they also

sold two limited-edition posters, with proceeds going to the

families of workers at Uljanik shipyard, which closed down

in May due to bankruptcy proceedings. That’s six places

needed in heaven if you’re reading, God. K!

THERE
