Foo Fighters Belfast youngest fan steals the show at Vital gig

A five-year-old boy has become an internet sensation after he wowed crowds at Foo Fighters Belfast gig on Monday night.

Taylor Blackburn, stole the show after Foo Fighters lead singer Dave Grohl invited him on stage.

The youngster rocked out to hit All My Life after Grohl spotted his sign in the audience making reference to the fact he shared a name with Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins.

Armed with ear defenders, the schoolboy wasn't deterred by the 35,000 strong crowd watching his every move as he pulled his best moves on stage with Dave encouraging him to, 'show them how to dance!'

Taylor's mum Nikki told Belfast Live she and husband Daniel are so proud of their son.

"We are insanely proud of our wee man. We're still in shock. My phone has been going mad with friends and family contacting us after seeing it.

"He's actually named after drummer Taylor Hawkins so we had to take him to the Foos for his first gig."

Following the gig, videos of Taylor went viral on social media with concert goers saying he 'stole the show'.

Foo Fighters opened the first night of this year's Belfast Vital and will take to the stage on Saturday night to close this year's festival.
