Nirvana drummer and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has admitted he would love to play drums for the iconic Swedish pop group ABBA.
After listening to their comeback single I Still Have Faith In You, he admits he “wept like a baby” after being a fan of the band since their genesis.
While appearing on BBC Breakfast, Grohl said, “Oh my god, I’m such a big ABBA fan. When I saw that they were coming back and they had a record, I shot that link to 100 people I knew, then listened to the new song and wept like a baby. I cried like a baby. Oh man!”
“Yes, I would play with ABBA” 👀

The rockstar said he became emotional at the new tune, saying, “It almost sounded like time hadn’t passed. Plus it was such a beautiful, romantic, melancholy, bitter-sweet retrospective. Ugh, it’s amazing. ABBA can do no wrong.”
When asked if he would be willing to perform with the global hitmakers, he said, “Listen, I will get up and play drums at the opening of an envelope.”
“Show me a drum set and I will sit down to it. So yes, I would play with ABBA.”
In 2018, Grohl sported an ABBA t-shirt when appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live to profess his love for the band and his excitement over their highly-anticipated return.
When Jimmy asked if he is a fan, Grohl replied, “Who doesn’t love ABBA?! Everybody loves ABBA!”
