Dave Grohl is haunted by dreams in which he's visited by his late Foo Fighters bandmate Taylor Hawkins.
The 57-year-old rocker was left devastated when the group's drummer died in 2022 at the age of 50 and Dave has revealed he still sees his longtime friend when he goes to sleep while he's also visited by ghosts of other lost loved ones including his former Nirvana bandmate Kurt Cobain, his childhood pal Jimmy and both his parents.
Dave told the Guardian newspaper: "I have had these dreams that seem like visitations. Whether it’s from my mother, or my old friend Jimmy, or Kurt, or my father. And in the dreams, I know that I’m dreaming, but those people are here. And it’s as if they’ve never left."
Dave went on to describe one particularly painful dream and broke down in tears has he recalled being reunited with Taylor.
He explained: "I fell asleep on a couch, like this one, in front of a television. I thought that I’d woken up, and he was sitting right next to me.
"It was so f****** real. He was happy. His hair looked great; he was tan. The first thing I said was: 'Oh my God, we miss you so much'. He smiled.
"I said: 'Where are you?' And he smiled again and said: ‘Dude' .And I woke up. I was like: '***, I almost had it!'"
Dave lost his mother Virginia in 2022 - just months after Taylor's death - and he's confessed losing his mom felt different because it was expected.
He explained: "[Losing Taylor] was almost too much to feel. And so I did what I’ve always done, which was to just keep my boots on the ground and keep going. From the loss of Kurt to the loss of Taylor, I was afraid to sit and actually let those things into my heart ...
"{Before my mom died] I was with her every day leading up to when she passed. I was with her when she passed. And she never lost her spirit, her light.
"But … her body was … going. And so that … I let into my heart. Rather than just kind of keeping it up in my head and continuing on."
