The Foo Fighters have pulled out of the Soundside Music Festival following frontman Dave Grohl’s recent love child scandal.

The band made the announcement via Instagram on Thursday, stating, “Foo Fighters will no longer be appearing at this weekend’s Soundside Music Festival. Please check the festival website for more information.”

Comments on the post were disabled, and the statement was also shared to the band’s Story.

The festival, set for this weekend in Bridgeport, Conn., would have marked Grohl’s first performance since revealing that he fathered a child outside his marriage to wife Jordyn Blum.

Earlier this month, the 55-year-old rock icon shocked fans by announcing the birth of his baby daughter, whose mother and name remain undisclosed.

“I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her,” Grohl wrote, while expressing his commitment to restoring trust with his wife and their three children, Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10.

Grohl’s marriage to Blum, whom he wed in 2003, is now under scrutiny, with two ex-girlfriends weighing in.

Jennifer Finch offered her support for the musician, while Kari Wuhrer expressed her lack of surprise, calling him a “scumbag” and referencing past infidelities.

Hoda Kotb has been basking in love from every corner since she announced her exit from the Today Show.

Kotb, 60, first announced her departure in a letter to the NBC morning show before addressing viewers while sitting on a couch surrounded by her colleagues, including, Al Roker, Craig Melvin, Jenna Bush Hager, Savannah Guthrie, and Sheinelle Jones.

After announcing her departure from the show after 17 years, the teary-eyed host received an outpouring of support from the entire crew.

In a behind-the-scenes video making the rounds on X, formerly Twitter, an emotional Kotb received a standing ovation from her colleagues.

“We love you so very much, Hoda! [orange heart emoji]” the show captioned the emotional video.

Before the standing ovation, Kotb reflected on turning 60 earlier this year and how the milestone birthday inspired her to “turn a page” and explore something new.

“I had my kiddos later in life, and I was thinking that they deserve a bigger piece of my time pie that I have. I feel like we only have a finite amount of time. And so, with all that being said, this is the hardest thing in the world,” she said through tears.

“I’m gonna be here through the first of the year — past the first of the year — and I’m gonna stay in the NBC family, but it’s kind of a big deal for me,” she added that time.

James Middleton has provided a health update on Princess Kate following her completion of chemotherapy.

The 37-year-old father shared the update during a recent interview while promoting his new book, Meet Ella, which details how his cherished dog helped him through a battle with depression and suicidal thoughts.

Speaking to the news programme USA Today about his eldest sister, James said: “She’s doing ok.”

He continued: “It’s not for me to share on her behalf, you know, how everything’s going.

“But she’s getting all the right support and focus that she needs.

“And like anything, it takes time to process.”

James’s comments come as Kate has begun to take small steps back into royal life.

The Princess of Wales, 42, has quietly resumed her royal duties, focusing on her Early Years projects behind the scenes. She has also attended church services with her family as part of her recovery from a challenging year.

Over the weekend, the mother-of-three was spotted arriving at Crathie Kirk church near Balmoral alongside Prince William.

It was later revealed that the couple had taken a brief trip to Scotland, while their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, remained in Windsor.

This appearance came shortly after the Princess hosted her first work meeting in over nine months, marking the beginning of her gradual return to public life.

Last Tuesday, she convened a meeting at Windsor Castle with those involved in her Early Years initiative, which highlights the crucial role early childhood plays in shaping the adults we become.

Despite being in New York at the same time, Prince Harry has yet to meet with his aunt Sarah Ferguson or cousin Princess Beatrice, Express.co.uk has learned. 

According to two separate sources, the Duke of Sussex has been “too busy” with his commitments, leaving fans hopeful that a meeting can still be arranged before everyone departs at the end of this week.

As of the evening of September 24, no meetings had been scheduled, and the source indicates that if a gathering does take place, it’s likely to be a discreet affair. 

“There have been no plans added to the diary either, so if a meeting does go ahead, it will be something they will be keen to keep under wraps,” the source shared.

With only one day left to coordinate, the pressure is on for the trio to make a connection amidst their busy schedules.

Beatrice made a notable appearance at a lunch co-hosted by the Anti-Slavery Collective, the charity she co-founded with her sister, Princess Eugenie, aimed at combating modern slavery and human trafficking. 

In photos shared on social media, she is seen delivering an impactful speech at the event, which was attended by her mother, Sarah Ferguson, as well as former Prime Minister Theresa May.

Meanwhile, her cousin Prince Harry was also in New York, participating in various events during the UN General Assembly High-Level Week and Climate Week. 

The timing of their respective engagements has sparked interest in a potential family reunion, especially as Beatrice champions such a vital cause while Harry addresses global issues.
