Foo Fighters lynchpin Dave Grohl has admitted the release of the band's 'Greatest Hits' album “seems premature.”
The 40-year-old rock icon dropped in to Chris Moyles' breakfast show this morning to discuss the best of record released this week.
"It still seems premature because we're still a functioning, active band. Those things can look like an obituary.
"We were asked to do this a long time ago. We wrote it into a deal a long time ago - that's how it works.
"They started asking about four years ago, and we said, 'Don't we need some hits?'"
Foo Fighters also appeared on Later With Jools Holland last night. The full show will be aired on BBC2 this Friday (November 6).
