Many fans have aired their concerns on social media that the ‘All My Life’ rock group – which also includes Taylor Hawkins, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear and Nate Mendel – are going to announce they are splitting up.

However, a spokesperson for the band said the claims are “utterly ridiculous“.

The heavy rockers are believed to be on a hiatus, however, and a source close to the group has claimed 47-year-old Grohl – who is married to Jordyn Blum – is planning to go it alone.

The insider shared:

“The band is billing it as a ‘break,’ but it’s totally Dave going solo, and Taylor is p***ed about it.”

It has also been reported that Grohl’s acoustic cover of The Beatles song ‘Blackbird’ at the Oscars on Sunday night marked his first foray into the industry as a solo artist. Watch this space Foo-ey fans.
