Setting a better example on knowing when you’re licked than outgoing U.S. President Donald Trump, Foo Fighters mainman Dave Grohl recently conceded defeat to 10-year-old drummer Nandi Bushell, after a summer of drum-offs.

The pair have been trading drum videos over the past two months, resulting in the Foos man writing a “superhero theme song” for Nandi. They recently met up online, with the young drummer calling it "one of the best experiences" of her life. "Dave Grohl is so awesome, kind and friendly!" she enthused.

"What I realised was more than any sort of technical contest, this was something that was bringing people a lot of joy at a time where everyone could use a little bit," he explained. "It actually changed the way I look at what my band does in this time."
