Apple Dance Video Resurfaces on Graham Norton

The Apple dance video features Harper standing and guiding her seated dad Dave Grohl through the simple Charli XCX choreography from her Brat track. Norton played the clip for Charli XCX, who watched it unfold for the first time on air. She quickly approved Dave Grohl's laid-back take, calling it an "abstract approach, and that's cool." When Norton asked about Foo Fighters choreography, Dave Grohl kept it real: "We don't." This moment blended her hyperpop precision with his rockstar ease, refreshing the 2024 TikTok sensation for February 2026 viewers.

Foo Fighters Bring New Energy to the Stage

The band closed with "Your Favorite Toy," title track from their 12th album out April 24. Jason Falkner stepped in on guitar for Pat Smear, out after a recent gardening accident broke his foot—his face stayed on the kick drum. Scissor Sisters' Jake Shears and Babydaddy handled backing vocals, while new drummer Ilan Rubin drove the set. Dave Grohl reflected on their 30-year journey, calling it more than music: families, Nirvana-era friends, and life's ups and downs dictate new records. "We're a bunch of grumpy old men," he laughed, proving age sharpens their edge with onstage screams.

Fans praised how Charli XCX's nod elevated the Dave Grohl Apple dance video, sparking fresh TikTok duets and streams. Recent buzz from Rolling Stone highlights the couch chemistry and performance grit, bridging pop trends with rock legacy in one electric episode.
