Dave Grohl has to be the hardest-working man in rock. He played drums for one of the biggest bands in the world, moved on to front another of the biggest bands in the world, and has even found time to launch a couple of side-projects too. Does the man ever rest?

Apparently not. The Foo Fighters headlined the Invictus Games closing ceremony in London but instead of relaxing in their hotel room before the big gig, they put on a couple of intimate shows for their fans in Brighton and London.

The band packed out the Concorde 2 in Brighton and the House of Vans in London, with around 500 or so lucky fans at each show.

Renaming themselves The Holy S**ts, the band played a set consisting of well-known hits and some lesser-known tracks from their earlier albums, including Up in Arms from The Colour and the Shape and Weenie Beenie from their self-titled first album.

Grohl was apparently in his usual good form throughout both gigs. At one point, he even invited the lead singer of the UK Foo Fighters on stage to take his place during a song, which is surely the pinnacle of achievement for a tribute band singer.

Busy Dave wasn't finished quite yet though. The band had another gig planned at the Islington Assembly – although it already sold out.

It wasn't all bad news though, Foos fans. Grohl teased a week of gigs at Wembley Arena during the Brighton set!
