Dave Grohl, Dua Lipa, Chris Martin and more perform a quarantine cover of Foo Fighters’ ‘Times Like These’

One of the best things to come out of this whole global crisis is no doubt the quarantine video jams that have seen stars from across the world come together in the name of music.

Thanks to BBC Radio 1 Stay Home Live Lounge, some of the music world’s biggest superstars were brought together (virtually) to perform a heartwarming cover of Foo Fighters’ “Times Like These” to raise money for those in need during the COVID-19 crisis.

Headlined by the Foos’ own frontman and electric guitar player Dave Grohl and drummer Taylor Hawkins, the performance features Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Ellie Goulding, Rita Ora, Dua Lipa, Dermot Kennedy, Hailee Steinfeld, Jess Glynne, YUNGBLUD, Sam Fender, Sean Paul, Zara Larsson, as well as members of Biffy Clyro, Bastille, Royal Blood and 5 Seconds of Summer among others – all recording from the comfort of their own homes.

Premiered on BBC One’s The Big Night In TV show on Thursday, the BBC is also releasing the performance as a single, with UK proceeds combined with funds raised by The Big Night In.
