Foo Fighters ‘going to take a break’ as Dave Grohl tries to ‘regain his family’s trust’ after baby bombshell and affair scandal

Foo Fighters will reportedly ‘take a break’ as Dave Grohl tries to ‘regain his family’s trust’ amid his affair scandal.

The 55-year-old frontman shocked fans earlier this month when he admitted to cheating on 21-year-old wife Jordyn Blum and welcoming a baby girl with an as-yet-unnamed woman.

Following the news, the band canceled an upcoming performance at the Soundside Music Festival in Bridgeport, Connecticut this weekend.

Now reports suggest they are about to take a break as they deal with the aftermath of ‘a turbulent few years’.

A source said The sun: “The band needs time to be with their families and focus on regrouping.”

They added: ‘It’s been a turbulent few years, with the loss of their best friend, drummer Taylor Hawkins, the death of Dave’s mother and now the birth of his new child.

“He wants to be home and concentrate on regaining his family’s trust. Being on the road isn’t the best thing for any of them right now. It feels like a break is best for them together.

MailOnline has contacted Foo Fighters’ representative for comment.

The band was scheduled to perform at the Soundside Music Festival in Bridgeport, Connecticut, this weekend for the first time since the scandal broke, but abruptly withdrew on Thursday.

A statement read: ‘Foo Fighters will no longer perform at the Soundside Music Festival this weekend.

‘Check the festival website for more information.’

Dave announced in a statement on social media on September 10 that he had welcomed a daughter as he vowed to try to ‘get back’. [the] trust’ of his wife and their three daughters.

‘I recently became the father of a new daughter, born outside my marriage. I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her,” Grohl announced to his 1.4 million followers on Instagram on Tuesday.

“I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.”

He concluded: “We are grateful for your consideration of all the children involved as we move forward together,” he concluded the short post.

Grohl and Blum met in 2001 and have been married since 2003.

The couple share three daughters: Violet, 18; Harper, 15; and Ophelia, 10.

Following his announcement that he had fathered a child outside his marriage, his two eldest daughters both deleted their social media accounts.

His admission of marital infidelity followed a confession The Guardian in 2007 that he had also cheated on his first wife, Jennifer Leigh Youngblood.

The two married in 1994 but had separated by 1996, divorcing the following year.

In the same Guardian interview, Grohl said: ‘[My wife] Jordyn and [daughter] Violet are anchors that keep me from disappearing completely.”

In 2012, he told TIME that his family “has changed everything I do.”

He added: “It has changed everything I do. When you have children, you see life through different eyes. You feel the love more deeply and may be a little more compassionate. It’s inevitable that that will end up in your songwriting.”

Although little is publicly known about Blum, People reported that she once appeared on the cover of Teen, after being discovered in a supermarket at the age of 12.

She was reportedly working as a producer at MTV when she met the frontman.

But Grohl told Elle in 2007 that he wasn’t ready for a serious relationship when they first met, and stopped calling Blum after a few dates.
