Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl Joins Cage The Elephant As Temporary Member - Video

Foo Fighters Dave Grohl has temporarily joined Cage The Elephant as their drummer on their current tour.

Cage The Elephant, who are currently supporting Foo Fighters on their US tour, have been without a drummer after Jared Champion's appendix burst on Monday night (October 10).

The band's guitarist Lincoln Parrish told Spin that Grohl offered his services after hearing about Champion.

''Dave somehow heard what had happened and called our tour manager. He said, 'Hey, so do you think the guys would go for it?'. Our manager was like 'Um, yeah!!!'

He added: ''I had to pinch myself. I turned around and Dave Grohl is playing the drums. It's an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Nobody can replace Jared. But it's Dave ****ing Grohl. If you're going to be replaced by anybody, it might as well be the best.''

Grohl will drum for the band again tonight (Octover 13) at the Los Angeles' Forum.
