In between penning true stories about his life, Dave Grohl found time to get involved in yesterday's hour-long iHeart Living Room Concert for America, dedicating a Foo Fighters favourite to frontline workers of the coronavirus pandemic.

From isolation in Hawaii, Grohl performed an acoustic version of "My Hero," dedicating it to "everyone on the front lines doing their best to get us through all of this." 

Hosted by Elton John, the iHeart Living Room Concert for America also featured performances from Billie EilishAlicia KeysBackstreet BoysGreen Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, Mariah CareyTim McGraw and more.
