Grohl on nearly quitting

Dave Grohl has told Virgin Radio how he nearly gave up music after the death of former bandmate Kurt Cobain. He told the radio station: "When Nirvana was finished I didn't really know what to do. Our lives and our world were turned upside down. It's hard to imagine playing music after something like that. It was hard for me. I had always written and recorded songs by myself, [but] I wouldn't really play them for anyone. After Nirvana was finished I spent a lot of time just travelling around and thinking, and then I thought 'I know what I will do, I'll book 6 days in the studio down the street from my house and I'll record my favourite 12/13 songs I've ever written'. I never thought I'd still be here doing this, never".
