So many huge moves are being made in alternative music this year with the Red Hot Chili Peppers bringing back John Frusciante, My Chemical Romance launching a massive reunion tour, and now it looks another big time player has something in store for 2020. Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters confirmed on the Bill Simmons Podcast that his band has finished recording their latest album.

On top of that, Grohl revealed his latest documentary project will dig into the hard knock life of band touring in a van. The yet-to=be titled doc will feature members of Metallica, U2, and Guns ‘n Roses remarking on their early risky days in their music careers and how challenging it can be,
