What did he say about his health?
In an interview with Kerrang magazine, He opened up about his mental health, where he shared never-heard details of his mental ordeal.
“After we finished all of that touring, I went through a really weird depressive phase where I got the beard and I had the pyjamas and I didn’t leave the house for weeks.
“That was at the point that I realized the music wasn’t the thing that was making my life worse – it was actually the thing that always made my life better.
“I didn’t want to pick up a guitar. I wasn’t feeling creative, or prolific, or inspired. So I just went back to normal, quiet domestic life”.
Grohl has always said that the stigma attached to depression especially is unnecessary.
