Dave Grohl, 'The Storyteller' himself, appeared on the BBC kids series 'CBeebies' to read fellow drummer Ringo Starr’s Beatles-inspired children’s book 'Octopus’s Garden'
, a more-adult tome about his life and career, from his tenure in the punk band Scream to drumming for Nirvana to fronting the Foo Fighters.
“When the lockdown happened, I suddenly had nothing to do. I never have nothing to do,” Grohl said of the book. “I’ve always been creatively restless, so I thought I would spend my time writing these short stories for an Instagram page [called] ‘davestruestories.’ And in doing that I fell in love with writing. I thought, ‘Oh you know what? Maybe I’ll write a book,’ without realizing how gargantuan of a project it would be.
He added, “The idea was to choose the stories that best described what it’s like to be behind the curtain and on the inside of the music, from the drum stool looking out. To play music, have this beautiful family, travel the world, meet people from all walks of life, I never take any of this for granted, believe me.”
