Foo Fighters

Over 20 artists are coming together this Thursday, April 23rd, to cover the Foo Fighters’ “Times Like These.”

The cover of Foo Fighters’ Times Like These, using “phones, pots, pans and acoustic guitars”, according to producer Fraser T Smith, features artists spanning pop, rock, rap, soul, dancehall and R&B, including Dua Lipa, Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Rita Ora and Ellie Goulding.
