December 18, 2017

Foo Fighters appeared on Saturday Night Live over the weekend as the musical guests. Instead of performing songs from their 2017 album, Concrete And Gold, Dave Grohl started proceedings with a stripped back version of Everlong.

The rest of the band then join in with the frontman as they play a medley of Darlene Love’s 1963 classic hit Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) and Vince Guaraldi’s Linus And Lucy.
