Dave Grohl has kept his promise to two trapped miners for tickets to a Foo Fighters concert.
Todd Russell and Brant Webb were trapped for 15 days in a mine in Tasmania earlier this year. When he heard they had requested Foo Fighters tracks on an iPod during their ordeal, Grohl sent the them the message: "Two tickets to any Foos show, anywhere and two cold beers."
The Foos frontman will now host the pair at the band's acoustic shows at the Sydney Opera House, and will personally spend the evening with them.
He explains: "I was willing to foot the bill to have them come half way around the world just to hang out and have a beer, and then it turned out they couldn't come. I'm not having just one beer with those dudes. We're going for it. This is going to be a big night."
