Dave Grohl tells Sydney crowd Russell, whose death was announced this week, was a ‘big’ hero of his
A solemn moment has broken up an otherwise raucous Foo Fighters Australian concert as the band’s frontman made a lengthy on-stage tribute to Beaconsfield survivor Todd Russell.
The US band are touring Australia for the 16th time in their 32-year history and Tuesday night’s Sydney show coincided with the news of Russell’s death at the age of 54.
