She told viewers, "He said he's been using alcohol and prescription drugs for the last year and a half. And that he's been an a-- and he's been in a very dark place. That's true. That's very true.

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl said that inducting Rush into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last Thursday night (April 18th) was "one of the most special nights of my life." After inducting the band, Grohl, Foos drummer Taylor Hawkins and producer Nick Raskulinecz donned wigs and kimonos -- identical to the ones that Rush wore on the back of their classic 2112 album -- to play the overture to "2112" before stepping aside and letting the real band take the stage.

Grohl told Rolling Stone, "It's terrifying to play your favorite band's song in front of your favorite band. It's one thing to sit in the basement and woodshed '2112,' and its another to stand in front of Rush..."
