Foo Fighters frontman David Grohl has admitted that his decision to perform sober at the V Festival was an unusual one.

The singer confessed that he normally likes to consume alcohol before a gig and still believes that doing so is the best way to prepare for concerts.

"This is the first time I've played sober in ages. It was great," Grohl told WENN. "But there is something about having couple of shots of Jagermeister and Red Bull and making 50,000 people sing."
