Dave Grohl "cried like a baby" listening to ABBA's comeback song.
In early September, the Swedish pop group announced that they were releasing Voyage, their first new album in 40 years, in November, and to celebrate their comeback, they released the new singles I Still Have Faith in You and Don't Shut Me Down.
"Oh my God, I'm such a big ABBA fan. When I saw that they were coming back and they had a record, I shot that link to 100 people I knew, then listened to the new song and wept like a baby. I cried like a baby. Oh man!" he told BBC News. "It almost sounded like time hadn't passed. Plus it was such a beautiful, romantic, melancholy, bitter-sweet retrospective. Ugh, it's amazing. ABBA can do no wrong."
He was then asked if he would play drums for the Dancing Queen hitmakers if they requested him and he agreed to the task.
"Listen, I will get up and play drums at the opening of an envelope. Show me a drum set and I will sit down to it. So yes, I would play with ABBA," he replied.
