Foo Fighters Tapped For Letterman Late Show Finale

Up until today no details about who will appear on tonight’s episode of CBS’s Late Show With David Letterman had been revealed, but Rolling Stone reports Dave’s final musical guest before he enters retirement will be Foo Fighters following Bob Dylan’s performance last night.

It’s been well established on a number of occasions that David Letterman is a Foo Fighters fan. Based on the apparent relationship forged over the years, it’s safe to say the feeling is shared by the band about the soon to retire host. When Letterman returned from open heart surgery on February 21, 2000 he had his “favorite band playing his favorite song” as the night’s musical guest as Dave Grohl lead the group through “Everlong.”

The frequent Late Show musical guests, Foo Fighters also appeared on the Live On Letterman series on April 12, 2011 performing their album Wasting Light and several of their well-known songs. Letterman had the band back last October for a week-long residency in support of their last album Sonic Highways. Here’s our recent Letterman Music Files post detailing Foo Fighters’ 2014 week-long residency.
