The Foo Fighters frontman revealed he was a fan of the ‘Bad Guy’ pop star earlier this year, after his daughter began listening to her music. “Are you kidding?” Eilish said in response, explaining that she grew up on Grohl’s work.
Appearing on Josh Homme’s Alligator Hour radio show, the musician has now compared Eilish’s fanbase to that of the former Smiths singer – explaining how seeing her live for the first time “felt like you were a part of something that was just about to explode”.
“It’s the connection she has with her audience – she’s like Morrissey,” said Grohl. “It’s like the kids who are there at the show, and not just kids, the people that are there are just like they are so into the scene like that world.”
Billie Eilish joins an elite group of women in the history of Billboard's Alternative Songs airplay chart, as "Bad Guy" bounds 17-10 on the June 22-dated list.
Why is Eilish in good company? Each of Eilish's first three entries has now hit the Alternative Songs top 10. That's a feat achieved by just two other solo women since the chart began in 1988, and one not earned in over two decades until this week.
