“I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,” the 55-year-old musician shared on Instagram. “I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.”
“We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together,” the post concluded. Comments on the post were turned off.

This admission comes just after The Foo Fighters spoke out against the Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump using their song “My Hero” at an August rally in Arizona, per Forbes. A rep for the band said, “Foo Fighters were not asked permission and if they were, they would have not granted it.”
Trump’s rep Steven Cheung hit back on X, using Foo Fighters song titles while composing a message that said, “It’s Times Like These facts matter, don’t be a Pretender.” Cheung also said they had gone through the proper channels to obtain rights to the music, the outlet noted.
The former Nirvana drummer met his wife, Jordyn Blum, at the Sunset Marquis Whiskey Bar in West Hollywood in 2001, per the New York Post.
