Dave Grohl surprised a fan on crutches backstage at a Foo Fighters show in Washington DC on Thursday (12th October) by gifting her his shoe.
The encounter with Grohl was shared by the Foo’s fan, Sabryn (Twitter handle @SabrynSucks), on Twitter. Sabryn also mentioned that she met the Grohl’s orthopaedic doctor that night who advised if she didn’t put a shoe on her foot it wouldn’t get better. This prompted the band’s frontman to give her one of his shoes. Check out the tweets below.

In a statement to Alt Press, Sabryn said: “Dave brought him [the doctor] out once he saw that I was on crutches, and that’s when his doctor mentioned that I was supposed to wear a shoe with my brace,”
“I told him that my shoes didn’t fit over it because it’s pretty big and my shoes are kinda small. So Dave said, ‘You need one of my big high tops!’ and I laughed it off.”
“I wore it for the rest of the night after Dave told me to put it on,” Sabryn said. “It’s definitely one of the coolest things to ever happen, and probably the funniest”.
