Dave Grohl fans all make the same joke after he announced secret love child in cheating scandal

Dave Grohl, the Foo Fighters frontman, has announced that he has fathered a child outside of his marriage to Jordyn Blum . The news was shared via an official statement on his Instagram account, revealing the birth of his "new baby daughter".

While some fans were taken aback by the revelation of his secret child with a mystery woman , others saw it as an opportunity for humor , suggesting the former Nirvana drummer "missed a trick".

The statement from Grohl read: "I've recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage. 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."

One user, whose post received over 60,000 likes, attached a screenshot of the statement and quipped: "Dave Grohl missed a trick not opening this statement with 'I've got another confession to make'."

This line is a nod to the Foo Fighters song Best of You, one of the band's most popular tracks, reports the Mirror .

Best of You soared to the top of the rock charts in the US, Canada and UK, and it wasn't the only track used to poke fun at Grohl's recent announcement. One user quipped: "There goes my hero," alluding to another massive hit by the Foo Fighters, My Hero.

Some thought that kicking off with a line from a Foo Fighters song might not have been the wisest move for Grohl, as one user commented: "To be fair, if I was his wife and he started his IG post off with, 'I've got another confession to make...' I would probably explode."
