DAVE GROHL - GROHL ALMOST QUIT MUSIC AFTER COBAIN'S SUICIDE

Rocker DAVE GROHL almost turned his back on music after NIRVANA bandmate KURT COBAIN killed himself in 1994. Grohl, who played drums in the legendary group, was devastated by Cobain's suicide and admits his career as the Foo Fighters frontman came about almost by accident. He says, "When Nirvana was finished I didn't really know what to do. Our lives and our world were turned upside down. "It's hard to imagine playing music after something like that. It was hard for me. I had always written and recorded songs by myself. I wouldn't really play them for anyone. "(So) after Nirvana was finished I spent a lot of time just travelling around and thinking, and then I thought, 'I know what I will do. I'll book six days in the studio down the street from my house and I'll record my favourite 12/13 songs I've ever written.' "I never thought I'd still be here doing this. Never."
