It came just days after Grohl courted controversy, after appearing to claim Taylor Swift’s band did not play live.

In social media videos, Grohl told the crowd at London Stadium: “I tell you, man, you don’t want to suffer the wrath of Taylor Swift.

“So we like to call our tour the Errors Tour because I feel like we’ve had more than a few eras, and more than a few f****** errors as well. Just a couple.

“That’s because we actually play live. What? Just saying. You guys like raw, live rock ‘n’ roll music, right? You came to the right f****** place.”
