Miley Cyrus recruited Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins and Billy Idol for special appearances on her new album Plastic Hearts. Hawkins and Idol perform on the track “Night Crawling” with Idol providing vocals and Hawkins drumming.
Cyrus has ventured into rock in the last couple of years, performing Temple of the Dog songs with Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament in January 2019 to honor Chris Cornell, and more recently performing an incredible cover of the Hole classic “Doll Parts” on The Howard Stern Show, blowing away Stern and even Courtney Love herself.
Dave Grohl recently told Q104.3 the first concert he ever saw live before he became a punk rock drummer himself, “My God… The first artist I ever saw in concert was a band called Naked Raygun, which was a punk-rock band from Chicago. I saw them at this tiny little hole in the wall across the street from Wrigley Field, this place called The Cubby Bear. This is, like, 1982 or 1983.
I’d never seen a band before and my cousin took me to see a punk-rock band, and it totally changed my life. So I would be in lockdown with one of my favorite punk-rock bands of all time and I would probably be in heaven.”
