Foo Fighters Hiatus Over?

Last year it was reported that the Foo Fighters would be going on hiatus after they finished touring for 'Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace,' but drumemr Taylor Hawkins tells Spinner it may be a very brief hiatus. "We're writing, working on music intermittently," Hawkins says. "We've already got together and worked on a little bit of stuff, but very tenatively, just ideas. We're just gonna take our time."

Still, Hawkins says the band may pop up in some form for one simple reason -- they like each other. "It would be hard for us to go a year without making music together," he says. "We have fun being together. That's the whole trip -- we still enoy that, whether it's a Neil Diamond cover or whatever. We still like to get in the jam room."

One person who's always busy is Foos frontman Dave Grohl, who spent Grammy weekend playing drums on the Beatles classic 'I Saw Her Standing There' with Paul McCartney. This only a few months after Grohl shared the stage with half of Led Zeppelin -- Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones. How does it feel being sideman to the legends? "It's ridiculous," Grohl tells Spinner. "Never in my wildest dreams had I imagined that any of this would happen. It's surreal, it doesn't make sense. But I'm totally going with it."
