Dave Grohl has street named after him

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl attended a special ceremony this past Saturday (August 1) in his home town of Warren, Ohio where the local residents named a strate after him.

The city's Market Alley was rechristened Dave Grohl Alley in his honour (see what we did there? LOLZ etc.).

"When I was a kid, I used to love to come here," said Grohl at the official ceremony. "This is one of my favourite places in the world."

Grohl then backed local band Love Turns To Hate for two songs on drums before treating the assembled crowd to the Foos classics Times Like These, My Hero and Everlong.

"Dave Grohl Alley in his honour (see what we did there? LOLZ etc.).".

The British spelling of 'honour' kinda ruined it to be honest. Word play aghast!

Anonymous - how is reporting the attendance of a ceremony on August 1 'very old news'?

Are you from the future or are you some sort of shitheel who has nothing better to do that post pointless comments on websites. Get a life.
