He lays his head and swings his legs round until his black leather boots are resting on the upholstery, and clasps his hands across his stomach. Punk-rock disregard for shoe etiquette aside, it\u2019s the classic pose of the psychoanalysed. \u201cI\u2019ve been in therapy six days a week for 70 weeks,\u201d he says. \u201cI did the math the other day: over 430 sessions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even by US standards, that is a lot \u2013 but if anyone needed to work out who they are and why they were doing what they were doing, it was Grohl. Nirvana ended traumatically after the death of Kurt Cobain in 1994, but their drummer Grohl quickly formed a new band, Foo Fighters, stepping up to frontman and turning them into the definitive stadium rockers of the new century with hits such as Everlong, Best of You and The Pretender. Grohl was often described as \u201cthe nicest man in rock\u201d, a label his team tells me he dislikes,<\/p>\n<p>but he was certainly genial and seemed to be settling into middle age with hobbyist projects \u2013 documentary series, memoir, horror-comedy film \u2013 between a series of world tours and middle-ranking Foo Fighters albums. He had married second wife Jordyn Blum in 2003 and they\u2019d had three daughters together. Bassist Nate Mendel tells me: \u201cWhen we were first rehearsing in the mid-90s, Dave said: I just want this band to be low-drama, and for it to be fun.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height:
