Dave Grohl Courtney Love Feud Ends, Grohl Loses His Father, Welcomes His Third Daughter Ophelia

James "Jim" Harper Grohl, the father of Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl passed on August 6 due to cancer. He was 75, survived by his wife Rennie (Yoshida) and his brother Tom.

Grohl began working as a reporter for the Niles Daily Times in 1959, and then went to the Painesville Telegraph in 1961. He also served in the Army through years 1961-1964. He later served as a special assistant to Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio, and ended his career as a senior vice president of the U.S. Savings and Loan League and a political consultant in Washington D.C.

Five days before his death, on August 1, Dave Grohl and wife Jordyn Blum announced that she has given birth to their third child Ophelia, who joins sisters Violet 8, and Harper, 5.

Dave and Jordyn revealed that they were expecting the third child at Nirvana's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in April, where Grohl also extended a hand to Kurt Cobain's widow Courtney Love, ending the long standing feud between the two. Love, 49, turned to Dave and gave him a hug. She later tweeted "The most magical part of the evening. Thank you Dave, love you. I know this made him smile up there."

It seems that the 'Learn To Fly' rocker has a lot going for him this year, especially with the new Foo Fighters record coming out. 'Sonic Highways', an HBO series documents the process of recording the forthcoming album.

Here's its latest trailer via the band's Instagram account:

Their 8^th studio LP, coincidentally recorded in 8 different studios, in 8 different cities across the States will be accompanied by a mini series, Sonic Highways, set to broadcast on HBO, which will document the process of the as-yet-untitled album.

The cities included are Chicago, Nashville, Los Angeles, Austin, Washington, D.C., New York, Seattle and New Orleans. Studios involved with the project include Rancho De Luna in Seattle; Steve Albini's Electrical Audio in Chicago, and Washington, D.C's Inner Ear Studios.
