Earlier this year, an Italian Foo Fighters fan gathered over 1000 musicians together in his home city of Cesena to perform 'Learn to Fly'.
The video went viral and has been viewed over 25 million times since, but that wasn't its purpose; really, the aim was to get the band's attention and ask them to come and play Cesena, a city with a population of less than 100,000.
Dave Grohl promised that the band would play a gig, and - as if you needed another reason to like him - he is a man of his word as Foo Fighters have just announced a date in Cesena on November 3rd.
Grohl issued a statement saying:
"I’ll never forget that day that my phone was flooded with texts from friends, all saying 'Have you seen this???', 'Amazing!', 'So insane!' with an anonymous YouTube link attached. Assuming it was just another 'CAT GETTING STUCK IN A PAPER BAG' video, I didn’t bite at first, but after the 10,000th message, I clicked the link and was absolutely blown away by what I saw.
"To see so many people put so much time, and effort, and love into making music moved me to tears. And the fact that it was a Foo Fighters song…well…it’s hard to put into words how humbled that made me feel. It is without a doubt one of the most beautiful experiences of my entire life."
He added: "Ever since that day we have been looking forward to this incredible experience... We are beyond excited an honored to come play for Cesena. An experience like this comes once in a lifetime, so I’m looking forward to a once in a lifetime show."
