Dave Grohl Net Worth: How Much Is Foo Fighters Leader Worth After Breaking Leg Onstage?

For more than two decades, Dave Grohl's net worth has risen as he's one of the most iconic people in the music business, particularly in the rock scene, being famous as much for his own talents as he is for being one of the nicest people in the industry.

He's so nice, in fact, that in spite of Dave Grohl's net worth, the Foo Fighters singer and Nirvana drummer, alongside his 20 year-old band, was present for some of David Letterman's most iconic moments in "The Late Show," having sung Letterman's favorite song, "Everlong," when he recovered from heart surgery and in his final show.

Besides being close to Letterman, in fact Dave Grohl's net worth comes from one of the most interesting careers in rock music, from the time he was the drummer in the iconic grunge band Nirvana, led by legendary singer Kurt Cobain.

When Cobain was still alive and Dave Grohl's net worth depended basically on cultural icon Nirvana, Grohl created a sample of his own music project, of what would ultimately become Foo Fighters, where he sang and played all the instruments himself - and, when showing his work to Cobain, Courtney Love's then-husband loved it!

After that, Dave Grohl's net worth has mostly come from his earnings from Foo Fighters albums and concert tickets sales, still being one of the most popular and iconic rock bands in the world after 20 years, having been founded in 1994.c

Currently, the band consists of Grohl, Pat Smear, Nate Mendel, Taylor Hawkins and Chris Shiflett.

Besides his ventures in Nirvana and Foo Fighters, Grohl has also collaborated with some of the world's most important musicians, including former Beatle Paul McCartney, Nine Inch Nails, David Bowie and recent Grammy Award winners Tenacious D.

Earlier this week, Grohl broke his leg onstage during a Foo concert in Sweden - and kept rocking while he was being patched up!

Currently and with a career of more than two decades behind him, Dave Grohl's net worth stands at $260 million according to Celebrity Net Worth.
