Dave Grohl heroically stepped in when this teen band had nowhere to practice

WE’VE SEEN FOO Fighters’ lead singer Dave Grohl achieve legendary status many times in the past – like when he got back on stage after breaking his leg, and when he perfectly trolled the Westboro Baptist Church last year.
And now he’s gone above and beyond again.
A young band in England were having difficulty practising because of the noise restrictions put in place by the local council – so Dave Grohl personally sent the council a letter yesterday

The Foo Fighters posted the letter to their Facebook page this afternoon, complaining that the noise restriction imposed by the Cornwall Council is the same level as a dishwasher at 15 metres distance.
In the letter, Grohl passionately called for the council to let the band play in their private rehearsal space by changing their laws – and stressed how important music can be for kids:
The band is called Black Leaves of Envy - and they confirmed that they haven’t been able to practice for three months, even though they only have one neighbour nearby and they have never complained about the noise

The father of one of the kids in the band told the local newspaper The West Briton about the predicament the band faced:
Seeing as the letter has received over 20,000 likes on Facebook and thousands of retweets in just four hours, the Cornwall Council got back to Grohl immediately

Meanwhile, the young band themselves have thanked the Foo Fighters lead singer on Facebook:
This has gone down pretty well, of course
Yep. An absolute hero
