Foo Fighters lead singer Dave Grohl is putting the rumors to rest.
A social media post went viral on Instagram claiming Grohl was the father of a love child. The musician’s representative told Fox News Digital the claim is “100% fake.”
On Wednesday, a social media account shared a photo of a woman’s finger holding her baby’s finger with a lengthy caption implying Grohl was the father, according to Page Six. The post and account appear to have since been deleted.
