Dave Grohl creates original song for Nandi Bushell
The Foo Fighters frontman created an original track for the 10-year-old British drumming sensation, who he had a drum-off with earlier this month.
Dave Grohl has debuted an original song dedicated to Nandi Bushell.
The Foo Fighters frontman was challenged to a drum-off by the 10-year-old sensation and granted her wishes earlier this month with an epic drum off.
However, the former Nirvana drummer and the nicest man in rock has now gone one further by creating a song for the pint-sized musician.

The rocker captioned the vid: "Every superhero needs a theme song. Here’s one for you! Mad props to The Grohlettes for the background vocals."
Before his impressive performance, Grohl says to camera: "OK Nandi. You got me. You win round one. But I've got something special for you. Something you've never heard before, something I've never heard before, 'cause I'm about to write this off the top of my head... For you. "
