Dave Grohlβs daughter covered two Jeff Buckley songs in tribute to Taylor Hawkins at the special memorial concert that is taking place at Wembley Stadium today (September 3).
Before the special appearance from his daughter, Grohl spoke about Hawkinsβ unrivalled passion for music. βSo over the years, Taylor Hawkins turned me onto so much music,β he said. βHe was a musicologist, he knew more about music than anyone Iβve ever met in my life.
βHe constantly turned me onto albums Iβd never heard before. One of them was Jeff Buckleyβs βGraceβ, which is a classic album. So tonight, seeing as weβre honouring the music that Taylor loved, weβre gonna play a couple of songs from Jeff Buckleyβs βGraceβ.β
Grohl then introduced a band that included himself on drums, Queens Of The Stone Age and Them Crooked Vulturesβ Alain Johannes, guitarist Jason Falkner, Janeβs Addictionβs Chris Chaney, and his daughter Violet. The Foo Fighters leader described the latter as βthe only person I know who can actually sing a Jeff Buckley songβ.
The 16-year-old took to the stage with the veteran musicians, taking on vocals for versions of βLast Goodbyeβ and βGraceβ.
I own no rights to this song. All rights to this song belong to Jeff Buckley
