Dave Grohl Says He’s Doing Therapy Six Days Weekly
Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has spoken publicly about the personal work he has been doing since revealing last year that he fathered a child outside his marriage to Jordyn Blum. In a new interview, Grohl said he has been in an unusually intensive therapy routine while reassessing his priorities and the way he has been living his life away from music.
Grohl said he has attended therapy six times a week for 70 weeks—more than 430 sessions in total—according to Guardian.
Discussing why he decided to publicly address the situation at the time, Grohl said he needed to “turn everything off,” including his concern about what other people think, framing it as a way to focus on his immediate life and avoid being destroyed by outside judgment. He added that writing songs and lyrics can sometimes be enough of an outlet, but said he still keeps much of the deeper discussion in his personal life, calling the self-evaluation “an ongoing process.”
Grohl also described learning in therapy that he can be “overly ambitious” and take on too many projects, saying that overextending himself contributed to feeling lost. For additional Foo Fighters context, Grohl previously addressed band decisions when he defended firing a Foo Fighters bandmate in earlier comments.
Grohl’s remarks mark one of his most detailed acknowledgments of the aftermath since his 2024 admission, while stopping short of revisiting the scandal itself. The comments suggest a recalibration period for him personally, and potentially for the band’s pace and focus going forward.
