Foo Fighters cancel CT performance after Dave Grohl controversy

The Foo Fighters have abandoned their Connecticut concert, more than two weeks after frontman Dave Grohl faced controversy.

Grohl announced earlier this month that he had fathered a child outside his marriage and was working to regain the trust of his wife and children.

On Thursday, the band announced in a statement that it would no longer perform at the Soundside Music Festival in Bridgeport this weekend. No reason was provided for the cancellation.

The band was originally scheduled to headline the show on Sunday, and the festival said on social media that Jack White and Greta Van Fleet would perform instead.
