Dave Grohl surprised a trauma nurse recovering from coronavirus by serenading him with a solo version of the Foo Fighters song “Everlong”.
On Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Grohl appeared as a guest, much to the delight of New York nurse TJ Riley, who had been named the talk show’s “Healthcare Hero of the Week”.
Riley, a Foo Fighters fan, had a short conversation with Grohl, before the former Nirvana drummer performed for him on the acoustic guitar.
“I’m a huge, huge fan,” said the nurse, who works at the Jacobi Medical Center in The Bronx borough of New York.
“I just happen to have a guitar in my lap,” joked the rock musician. “Maybe I’ll play you a song.”
Grohl is not the only celebrity to have surprised a fan via video link.
Friends star Jennifer Aniston also pulled a similar stunt with Kimmel, surprising a Utah-based nurse with money to order food deliveries.
Foo Fighters announced on 27 April that they have rescheduled their aborted European tour, with new dates planned for 2021.
