Foo Fighters singer Dave Grohl, well known for his reputation as “the nicest guy in rock”, has admitted becoming the father to a baby born “outside of my marriage”.
The former Nirvana drummer, 55, said he plans to be a “loving and supportive parent” to his new daughter in an Instagram post on Tuesday.
Grohl, who shares three daughters with his wife of more than 20 years Jordyn Blum, said he loves his family and is doing “everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness”.
“I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage”, he wrote in the post.
“I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her.
“I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.”
He added: “We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together. Dave.”
Grohl’s publicist told Sky News the singer would be offering no further comment beyond the statement.
