Foo Fighters release new EP for free
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 24 November 2015
Those Foo Fighters have released a new EP called ‘Saint Cecilia’ as a free download, with Dave Grohl using the release to pay tribute to the victims of the attacks in Paris earlier this month.
In a statement accompanying the release, Grohl explained that the band had planned to put out the new release to mark the end of their world tour. But that had all changed when the final dates of said tour were cancelled following the attacks.
“The Saint Cecilia EP was put into motion back in October of this year as a celebration of life and music”, he wrote. “The concept being that, as our world tour drew to a close this week, we wanted to share our love of both with you in return for everything you have given us. Now, there is a new, hopeful intention that, even in the smallest way, perhaps these songs can bring a little light into this sometimes dark world. To remind us that music is life, and that hope and healing go hand in hand with song. That much can never be taken away”.
