Dave Grohl has shared that he chose to step away from outside noise after going public with his admission that he had been unfaithful in his marriage.
The Foo Fighters singer shocked many followers in September 2024 when he posted a message on Instagram revealing that he had welcomed a child with another woman.
At the time, he said he planned to take responsibility for his newborn daughter while also working to rebuild the trust of his wife Jordyn Blum and their children, saying he hoped to "earn their forgiveness".
In a conversation with The Guardian released on Friday, Grohl spoke about what it was like to be open about his personal mistake.
"I had to turn everything off, one of those things being my concern for what other people think," the 57 year old explained. "Being able to shut off that part of yourself can be sometimes a very healthy exercise in considering life within your immediate radius. Not giving all of that so much currency within yourself that it can completely destroy yourself."
The former Nirvana drummer also shared that he has been attending therapy sessions six days each week for the past 70 weeks. When asked whether the controversy played a role in that decision, he responded, "There were so many things that led me to this therapy."
When asked to expand further, Grohl said, "I have to be perfectly honest. Writing songs and writing lyrics about these things is sometimes enough. As far as having a deeper, longer conversation about them, I still do reserve a lot of this for my own personal life, as impersonal and public as it may seem. But I think that for many reasons, I wound up in a place that I needed to stop and sit with myself and re evaluate myself. It's an ongoing process."
He also explained that he had not properly processed his emotions after losing his bandmate Taylor Hawkins and his mother Virginia in 2022.
"Getting to the point where I was just like, I need to stop, turn everything off and find my heart," he added.
Grohl and Blum have been married since 2003 and are parents to daughters Violet, 19, Harper, 16, and Ophelia, 11.
When asked whether he feels he has repaired his family relationships, he pointed to the lyrics from the band’s upcoming album Your Favorite Toy, saying, "I think they speak volumes. Maybe more than I can speak right now."
The album is scheduled to be released on April 24.
