American rock band Foo Fighters have announced a new greatest hits compilation The Essential Foo Fighters, which is set for release on October 28 via Sony Music. It follows their Greatest Hits LP from 2009.

Featuring the biggest songs from across their career since former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl formed the group in 1994, first as a one-man project, the Foo Fighters compilation will be available on CD and double vinyl.

The CD version of the album includes 19 tracks, while the double vinyl edition adds 'Breakout' and 'Waiting on a War' as two extra songs.

Also part of the tracklist are standout tunes 'My Hero', 'Monkey Wrench' and 'Best of You', as well as 'The Pretender', 'All My Life', 'These Days', 'This Is A Call' and two versions of 'Everlong'.

At the beginning of this month, on September 3, Foo Fighters were joined by a stellar lineup to celebrate the life of late drummer Taylor Hawkins at London’s Wembley Stadium. Hawkins died at the age of 50 on March 25 in Bogotá, Colombia.

“Tonight we’ve gathered here to celebrate the life, the music and the love of our dear friend, our bandmate, our brother Taylor Hawkins,” Grohl said at the show. “For those of you who knew him personally, you know that no-one else could make you smile or laugh or dance or sing like he could.”

The tribute concert featured performances from the likes of Paul McCartney, Chrissie Hynde, Brian Johnson, Travis Barker, Lars Ulrich, Queen, Roger Taylor, Josh Homme, Mark Ronson, and Liam Gallagher, with a second all-star rock and roll event set to take place on September 27 at The Kia Forum in Los Angeles.

Foo Fighters’ guitarist Chris Shiflett also dropped his nostalgic single 'Born & Raised' last Friday, following July's mid-tempo ballad 'Long, Long Year'. His forthcoming solo album is expected in 2023.
