Fresh from his appearance on The Pyramid Stage last night, Foo Fighters’Dave Grohl also made another surprise appearance earlier in the evening – joining the Pretenders alongside Johnny Marr to play drums. “Apparently there’s a drunk guy backstage…he insists on playing,” Hynde joked with the crowd before Grohl appeared.
Then, at the end of a mammoth Guns N’ Roses set, Grohl appeared for the final song, ‘Paradise City’, “because you can never have enough guitars”, according to Axl Rose.

Dave Grohl’s had some Glastonbury so far, FooFighters perform a surprise slot on Friday, he played the drums for Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders and now rocks out with Guns & Roses. Wouldn’t surprise me if he joins someone tomorrow on the legends spot #glastonbury2023 🤘🏻🎸
