Foo Fighters celebrate with champagne and chicken

Dave Grohl loves relaxing after a concert with a bucket of fried chicken and a bottle of champagne.

While the Foo Fighters frontman revealed he and bandmates Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear, love the perks of his job, including private jets - they are also happy with the simple things in life.

He told NME magazine: "I don't think I need the f***ing blow [cocaine] and the paparazzi, but I like flying around in private jets. Those are nice.

"I'll tell you how it is in the Foo Fighters. One of our favourite things after shows used to be a really nice bottle of champagne, freezing cold. And a bucket of cheap fried chicken. To me that's f***ing heaven. And it's exactly what the Foo Fighters are like.

"We live in a world where we can afford a nice bottle of champagne but I'd much rather eat this greasy bucket of fried chicken than caviar and s**t like that. That's kind of how we roll."

Dave is, however, now getting worried about the effect it is having on his health.

He added: "But then I got to a point where I thought I'm going to have a f**king heart attack every time I did it."

Foo Fighters seventh album 'Wasting Light' is out now.
