Foo Fighters pull out of Soundside music festival amid Dave Grohl love child scandal

The Foo Fighters have taken fans by surprise ahead of their first gig since frontman Dave Grohl revealed he fathered a child outside of marriage.

The Foo Fighters have cancelled an upcoming gig amid frontman Dave Grohl’s love child scandal.

The band was set to perform for the first time since Grohl revealed he had fathered a child outside marriage on September 10 at the Soundside Music Festival in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

But they suddenly pulled out on Thursday.

A statement said: “Foo Fighters will no longer be appearing at this weekend’s Soundside Music Festival.

“Please check the festival website for more information.”

Meanwhile the tennis coach accused of having a “flirty” relationship with Grohl’s wife and making the rocker “jealous” is in fact happily married.

Sources told The New York Post that Jordyn Blum, 48, and her instructor, Chris Crabb, are just friends. In fact, she’s also friends with his wife, Olya, whom he married in August 2023.

“There’s nothing going on with her tennis instructor,” a source connected to the pair said.

The Foo Fighters frontman’s wife has been taking lessons from Crabb for years. The Los Angeles tennis pro shared a video of them on the court together back in 2022.

Rumours about Blum and her tennis coach surfaced after insiders told the Daily Mail that Grohl felt “jealous” of his wife’s “flirty” relationship with the athlete.

However, the well-connected source dismissed the speculation and said: “He’s married and his wife is Jordyn’s friend.”

It comes as Grohl has been accused of having a 15-year affair with an “alt porn goddess”, according to claims.The rocker, who stunned the world with his recent bombshell confession that he had fathered a secret love child “outside” his marriage, is said to have described Annaliese Nielsen as “perfect”.

After the news broke, his wife was spotted in public for the first time since his confession on Tuesday. She was seen leaving a tennis lesson with Chris, notably without her wedding ring.

It was claimed that Grohl had allegedly previously grilled Blum about her “flirty” friendship with tennis coach Christopher Crabb, who has been training the former model and MTV producer for years.

Grohl, 55, who has three daughters with Blum, 48, allegedly began romancing Ms Nielsen after his 2003 wedding, The Sun reports.

It is claimed the affair with Ms Nielsen continued until 2019 and there is no suggestion the 40-year-old is the mother of Grohl’s newborn daughter.

Tyler Ammons, a former housemate of Ms Nielsen, told the Daily Mail that he saw “intimate” text messages between the pair and once arrived home to find her sitting on the couch with Grohl.

This was obviously not a one-time thing, this was an affair that had taken years,” he said.

Another friend said Ms Nielsen had openly talked about her relationship with Grohl and referred to herself as his “side piece”.

Grohl admitted to fans in an Instagram statement that he had fathered a love child.

He said on Instagram: “I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage.

“I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.

“We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.”

It was reported that Grohl allegedly had a “very weird” connection to Ms Nielsen, the founder of an “alt erotica” porn site called “God’s Girls”, which features heavily tattooed models.
