Hayley Williams Joins Foo Fighters On-Stage at Bonnaroo
Music lovers and fans at last weekend’s Bonnaroo Festival in Manchester, Tennessee, got more than they expected during this year’s closing act. Dave Grohl’s Foo Fighters brought a special guest onstage to sing a song that has taken on new meaning for rock in the last year.
Following Paramore’s set, The Fighters brought frontwoman Hayley Williams on to duet with them. “Sing it for Hayley!” commanded Grohl as the band launched into their rock anthem “My Hero.”
The song has taken on new meaning since the sudden death of drummer Taylor Hawkins last year. Video went viral of Hawkins’ son Shane slaying his dad’s drum solo in front of a packed house in tribute of the late drummer.

Corey Taylor Bucks Trend Probably Won't Sell Catalog.

“I don't think there'll ever come a day when I'll sell (my catalog) because it's just such a great thing that I can then pass on to my family that can help take care of (them),” admitted Corey Taylor. The Slipknot frontman also said keeping the rights to his music was a matter of pride, calling it “a sign of the accomplishments — over 20 years of solid songwriting, solid production, solid publishing.”
We recently told you that Rod Stewart called off the sale of his catalog, which pays a lump sum to the artist instead of the traditional practice of collecting royalties. But Taylor, whose solo career is also taking off, is looking forward to growing his collection for the sake of his family.
