There's never a dull moment at a Foo Fighters show, whether it be pulling a 5-year-old up onstage to dance or having a wheelchair-bound fan crowd surf to the front, so why would the band's seventh appearance at the Leeds Festival be any different?
On Friday (August 23), the band pulled a Freddie Mercury look alike up onstage to help perform a cover of the Queen classic "Under Pressure" (which has become a setlist staple). The result was comedic gold as the Queen frontman imitator "worked the stage" while the Foos' drummer Taylor Hawkins sang. Check out footage below, along with the Foo Fighters' full Leeds setlist (via NME).
So @foofighters do this part where Taylor somgs under pressure whilst Dave Grohl Drums, but as they started Taylor notices a guy actually dressed as Freddie Mercury and it provided comedy GOLD pic.twitter.com/Jq7RfRRBNU
