Dave Grohl is certainly one of the more likable fellas in the music industry. His sunny disposition did not, however, do him any favors when trying to lock in a collab with a legendary rock star. In fact, the iconic singer told him to \u201cf***off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grohl recalled the story during a video project with Foo Fighters bandmate Pat Smear. The pair teamed up with Playboy to document their tour of the late David Bowie\u2019s favorite spots in Los Angeles. At one point, Grohl brought up the hilarious story of how he tried to work with Bowie on a song, but failed.<\/p>\n

We played at his 50th birthday party at Madison Square Garden, and that was the last time I saw him,\u201d Grohl said, via Rolling Stone. \u201cAbout two years ago, I got approached by this movie to do a song for the movie, so I thought, \u2018Maybe I\u2019ll have someone else sing. I\u2019ll do the music and then have another vocalist.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Grohl thought to himself, \u201cMaybe I\u2019ll ask and see if David would do it,\u201d so he reached out. \u201cThe next day,\u201d Grohl recalled, \u201cI get an email, and it said, \u2018David, I watched the movie, and I got to be honest, it\u2019s not my thing.\u2019 He said, \u2018I\u2019m not made for these times. So thanks, but I think I\u2019m gonna sit this one out.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The Nirvana drummer says he thanked Bowie for considering it, and then received another quick reply: \u201cAlright, well that\u2019s settled then. Now, f*** off.<\/p>\n\n
