Foo Fighters drew the ire of Liam’s brother, Noel, when they headlined Reading Festival this year, after Hawkins stuck a picture of Oasis to his drum kit and Grohl called for the band to reunite.

Most of the new “rock stars” are hip-hop artists, he suggests. “I saw Travis Scott, his show was pretty gnarly, almost like a f***ing Metallica gig. Generally, rock music is not something that’s particularly trendy right now.”
