Grohl's Zeppelin Dream Come True. Kinda...

added 29 January 2008 at 15.06

Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl may have missed out on the Led Zeppelin drumming job but he's now set to work with bassist John Paul Jones.

As previously reported, Foo Fighters are set to perform at this year's Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on February 10.

The band will be playing as part of this year's "My Grammy Moment" that sees one unsigned musician being given the chance to play with the group as part of an orchestra created just for the event.

Foo Fighters and the orchestra will then perform an entirely new and re-arranged version of 'The Pretender'.

The orchestral score has been written and arranged by Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones who will then take up the baton and conduct the unique ensemble.

Foo Fighters have picked up five nominations for Record Of The Year, Album Of The Year, Best Hard Rock Performance, Best Rock Song and Best Rock Album.
