Together they performed “Pretty Vacant”. See the fan recording of the special moment here.
Foo Fighters headlined Jazz Aspen Snowmass on Sunday (September 3). They surprised the audience when, in the middle of the set, Dave Grohl brought Billy Idol onstage for a cover of the Sex Pistols song “Pretty Vacant.” Idol himself also headlined the JAS festival on Sunday.
This is the second song Grohl and Billy Idol have covered together on stage, following John Lennon’s “Gimme Some Truth” in 2018.
