In the early activity years, the band was often compared to Nirvana<\/strong>, but as time passed by the differences were easily noticed and the band was rewarded with 26 awards for their 8 albums, 32 singles and 36 music videos.<\/p>\n “ The band was often compared to Nirvana ”<\/p>\n This year meant for the Foo Fighter the official 20th<\/sup> anniversary<\/strong> and to celebrate it, they decided to continue their international tour for \u201cSonic Highways<\/a>\u201d with a North American one. Though, Dave Grohl\u2019s accident and leg injury lead to the cancellation of their last concerts On 4th<\/sup> of July, the band performed at RFK Stadium<\/strong> and to make the lead singer\u2019s situation seem less dramatic, the name of the tour was changed into the Broken Leg Tour.<\/p>\n Going back on stage was not easy as the Westboro Baptist Church were making things difficult for them during one concert, but the members showed once more their positivity<\/strong> and funny side. Foo Fighters returned to Europe after initially cancelling their tour there, holding concerts in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n2015<\/h3>\n
