Foo Fighters Make Major Announcement in the Wake of Dave Grohl's Cheating Scandal
has another confession to make: he and the Foo Fighters are back!
On May 13, the rock legends announced their first show of 2025. The band—known for hits like "Everlong," "Times Like These," and Best Of You"—will play the Singapore Grand Prix, the Formula 1 racing event taking place from Oct. 3-5.
The Foo Fighters will play Oct. 4. They join a packed lineup that includes fellow alternative icons Smashing Pumpkins, metal superstars Babymetal, '80s rock legends Crowded House, and Elton John.
Unless the band plays another date before then, this will be the Foo Fighters' first show of the year, and the first since Dave went public with the news that he fathered a child out of wedlock.
In September 2024, Dave revealed he'd recently welcomed "a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage" to longtime wife, Jordyn Blum. At the time of the announcement, his band had just wrapped up their Everything Or Nothing At All tour with their last proper gig on Aug. 18.
Foo Fighters did play a private event at Anaheim's House of Blues on Sept. 6. Then, Dave made his announcement, and the band pulled out of the 2024 Soundside Music Festival in Bridgeport, Conn.
In his confession, Dave said he planned to be a "loving and supportive parent" to his new child while also working on regaining his family's trust and earning "their forgiveness."
Dave and Jordyn have three daughters: Violet, 19, Harper, 16, and 10-year-old Ophelia. Following her father's shocking confession, Violet and Harper deactivated their social media accounts (though both have since revived them).
Though the Foo Fighters haven't played since the drama, Dave has made a handful of public performances. In January, he reunited with the other surviving members of Nirvana to play FireAid, benefiting victims of the Los Angeles wildfires. St. Vincent, Joan Jett, Kim Gordon and Violet Grohl sang with the band.
Dave also played with Post Malone on Saturday Night Live's 50th anniversary show in February and teamed with the LA Philharmonic in April to perform two Foo Fighters songs.

America's Hottest Chicken Chain Started With $900—and Just Sold For $1 Billion
As soon as you walk through the door of a Dave's Hot Chicken, you see all the things that make it unlike other restaurant chains. The simple menu. The walls covered in murals and splattered with graffiti. The range of spice levels topped by 'Reaper,' which is so hot that it requires a waiver. 'You acknowledge that eating the Reaper can cause you harm,' the paperwork warns, 'including, but not limited to, bodily injury, property damage, emotional distress, or even death.'

Simone Ashley Reveals Her Beauty Secret for When She ‘Can't Be Bothered'
Simone Ashley has had an eventful few years. Since her breakout role as Kate Sharma in season 2 of Bridgerton in 2022, the actress's career has exploded. This past March, Ashley starred alongside Hero Fiennes Tiffin in the romantic comedy Picture This, where she played a struggling photographer trying to balance her career and her love life. Now, she is switching gears—pun intended—as she prepares for the highly anticipated release of F1, a sports action movie about two Formula 1 drivers, set to release this summer. Even with such a busy schedule, Ashley manages to show up on every red carpet looking flawless. This year's Cannes Film Festival was no different. She arrived, styled in a white Vivienne Westwood gown, for the premiere of The Mastermind. At the festival, Ashley also acted as a spokesperson for L'Oréal Paris's Lights on Women's Worth Awards, her second year as an ambassador for the program. Below, ELLE caught up with Ashley for a few minutes after her red carpet appearances to talk skin care, Cannes glam, and her go-to beauty rituals. I exfoliate a few times a week, hydrate, drink lots of water, moisturize, and try not to stress. A moisturizer! Actually, I don't really make much of an effort when I'm not working. I can't really be bothered. I just put my sunglasses on. Exfoliating. That works for me, though. I think everything is personal and subjective for different people. For me personally, it's [exfoliating] and rest. I am so lucky to have my team here with me. Alex Babsky, my makeup artist, always makes me feel so confident in myself. Stephane [Lancien], who's been doing my hair—he's just amazing. That was crazy. I have a very small part, but I'm grateful to be in that movie. I got to experience many Grands Prix. I don't think I'll ever do anything like that again. It's an honor. I feel very proud. At the awards dinner, Viola [Davis] did a speech. I'm so grateful that she's an ambassador for this brand. Though I'm inspired by everyone, seeing Viola made me feel so seen, like I am capable of doing it. This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.

Addison Rae just released her debut studio album, solidifying her status as pop music's latest ‘it' girl
Addison Rae is ready to reintroduce herself. Since amassing more than 88 million followers on TikTok, the 24-year-old has effectively pivoted her career from social media influencer to full-blown pop girl — and her self-titled, debut studio album, Addison, released on June 6, is proof of that. Rae, a former cheerleader from Louisiana, is living out her nostalgic "noughties" dream — and she's making music that captures that feeling. On Addison, Rae serves up her now signature trip-hop meets synth-pop sound. 'Diet Pepsi,' Rae's first release since 2021's 'Obsessed,' marked a turning point in the young star's career: It showcased Rae's artistry at its most sophisticated. Addison's 12-song tracklist, through its exploration of fantasy, fearlessness and doing what feels good and right for you, solidifies Rae as both a student of pop divas past and the genre's latest 'it' girl. ''Addison' is out now and alive everywhere in the universe for you to receiveeeeeee!!! This is my most personal and intimate possession,' she captioned an Instagram post. 'Making music is vulnerable, energetically sensitive, electric, gratifying, challenging…… pure magic. I am unbelievably proud.' At midnight on album release day, Rae debuted her sixth single along with the song's accompanying music video. Showcasing Rae at her most vulnerable, 'Times Like These,' which delves into her past and current tribulations, sounds like something you'd hear in a Josh Schwartz teen drama from the 2000s. Hours before Addison hit streamers, Rae performed a private show at the Box in New York City, where she played the album's singles and previewed some previously unreleased tracks. She then stopped by a Matchaful to unveil her limited edition 'Summer Forever' drink with the café. Early listeners have spoken: The album is filled with bangers. 'The very fact that addison rae just released a skipless debut album and managed to carve out a signature sound and artistic niche for herself in the oversaturated climate of today's music market,' one fan named Vidya wrote on X. 'Imagine I just told you that there was a female pop album that just dropped, that talks about familial love, the general angst and confusion you feel in your twenties and radical acceptance, and did it in a way that was really artistically intelligent,' a TikTok user named Sam said. 'Now, imagine I just told you that was Addison Rae.' Another X user raved about Rae's song 'New York,' writing, 'obsessed with everything about this track. her starting her debut album with the phrase 'take a bite of the big apple,' not only referencing new york but also adam and eve and the beginning of human civilization.. like there's LAYERSSS. addison rae you are a genius.' In an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1, Rae discussed how precious Addison is to her, and how she wants to give the album its moment. 'I think I'm in the space right now where I'm just really anticipating it coming out, and I'm like, trying to hit all the stops,' she said ahead of its debut. 'And even with posting and feeling like, 'Okay, well, I really want to make sure I give this the credit and the energy that it deserves.' I think sometimes I shy away from that because I'll be like … 'Is it going to be too much if I'm just like, 'Alright, everybody! The album's this many days away' … Sometimes I get onto myself about that and I'll be like, 'No, it deserves that.'' Focusing on her passions was more of a risk than a given. 'I just had this really strong intuition and gut feeling that, as unrealistic as it seemed, I needed to do it — there's no time like now to try and chase those dreams,' she told Elle earlier this year of her decision to pursue music. The pursuit of those dreams seems to have paid off. Long before she was lauded as a pop princess, Rae was a mainstay on the video-sharing platform, TikTok. The Louisiana native first joined the app in July 2019, where she posted a slew of content that ranged from TikTok challenges to dancing and lip-synching videos. She racked up a million followers within a matter of months and made the decision to leave Louisiana State University shortly after. The rest, as they say, is history. Rae made her film debut with 2021's He's All That, the same year she released 'Obsessed.' She starred in the horror flick Thanksgiving in 2023, three months after dropping her EP AR, which features the Charli XCX-assisted track '2 Die 4.' The release of Addison comes a year after Rae famously collaborated with Charli on the 'Von Dutch' remix. From there, she went on to garner widespread acclaim with the debut of her first major single 'Diet Pepsi,' a hypnotic, synth-pop track about young lust, in August 2024. The song's release was accompanied by a black-and-white video conceptualized by Rae herself. 'I think even going [and] watching old movies, and appreciating them for what they are, and how strongly you had to communicate through a black-and-white video, for people to take their time and watch it,' Rae told Lowe of making the video. 'And I think the song deserves that treatment of like, 'I get it. You're gonna have to focus really hard on it,' but I want you to have to focus really hard on it to get it.' Suddenly, after 'Diet Pepsi,' it felt as though Rae was inescapable. She joined Charli onstage during her 'Sweat Tour' stop at New York City's Madison Square Garden that September before dropping 'Aquamarine,' her single about transformation and rebirth, in October, followed by its remix 'Aquamarine/Arcamarine' in November. Rae ushered in the new year with the release of her third single off the album 'High Fashion' in February 2025. On the track, Rae sees no appeal in embarking on a drug-fueled bender and instead opts for the finer things in life: a closet full of couture. She sings, with her soft, atmospheric vocals atop a darker, synthier sound, 'I don't need your drugs/I'd rather get high fashion.' After gracing the cover of Vogue France, the singer dropped her fourth single in April 2025. With 'Headphones On,' Rae gives listeners a peek into how she relies on music as an escape from crisis and reality. The 24-year-old singer then reunited with Charli XCX at Coachella, where she performed the 'Von Dutch' remix. 'Fame Is a Gun,' Rae's fifth and final single — and music video — ahead of album release day, hit streaming platforms in May 2025. The track's artwork is a photo of a young Rae posing with sunglasses indoors, likely a nod to the fact that Rae has always been drawn to living a glamorous life. Rae's album, more than anything, is about arrival. 'It's arrival to who I feel like I've become,' she told Lowe. 'I've experienced all these trials and ups and downs, and great high moments to land here.' Whether you're a fan of Rae or a fan of music in general, Addison reflects an undeniable truth: We're watching an artist come into her own before our eyes.
