Dave Grohl's caffeine overdose

Dave Grohl has revealed that he was recently hospitalised because he drank too much coffee.

In Grohl's absence, his band Them Crooked Vultures - also made up of Queens Of The Stone Age frontman Josh Homme and Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones - recently uploaded a video in which they seemingly joked: "Two weeks after [the] video was shot, Dave was rushed to [a] doctor due to the onset of unwanted physical effects caused by too much caffeine."

However, Grohl has now confirmed that this was in fact true.

He told Absolute Radio: "We were in the studio making a record and I was drinking a lot of coffee.

"I was doing Vultures stuff at night, Foo Fighters stuff during the day and I had a newborn at home so I was sleeping two to three hours a night on an air mattress in a guest bedroom.

"And yeah, I had too much coffee, I started to get chest pains so I went to the hospital and they told me to stop drinking the coffee."

Them Crooked Vultures are currently working on their second LP.
