Grohl claims coffee overdose was genuine
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 25 March 2010
Dave Grohl has said the previously reported video recently posted on YouTube documenting the musician’s coffee addiction, and hospitalisation after overdosing on the drink, had some basis in reality. Though it sounds more like it was really exhaustion that forced him to seek medical help.
Grohl told Spinner: “We were in the studio making a record and I was drinking a lot of coffee. I was doing Vultures stuff at night, Foo Fighters stuff during the day and I had a newborn at home, so I was sleeping two to three hours a night on an air mattress in a guest bedroom. And yeah, I had too much coffee. I started to get chest pains so I went to the hospital and they told me to stop drinking so much coffee”.
I hope they told him to get some sleep, too. Anyway, here’s the original video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhdCslFcKFU
