1,000 Foo Fighters Fans Play Hit To Lure Band

Foo Fighters fans in one Italian city have joined forces to make a musical plea for the band to play a gig there.

One thousand musicians played the band's hit Learn To Fly in a field in Cesena for the recording which was posted on YouTube.

Organiser Fabio Zaffagnini spent over a year putting together the Rockin 1000 event.

In the video he says: "Italy is a country where dreams cannot easily come true but it's a land of passion and creativity."

The seven-minute film has now been viewed over four million times.

Dave Grohl and his bandmates are due to play a concert in Casalecchio Di Reno on 13 November which is around 100km away from Cesena.

Since the video was published, Grohl posted on the band's official Twitter account in Italian, "Ci vediamo a presto, Cesena ... xxx" which translates as "See you soon, Cesena ... xxx".

He signed the message as "Davide".

Grohl is still limping around after breaking his leg after falling off stage while performing in Gothenberg, Sweden.

The Foo Fighters had to pull out of headlining at Glastonbury Festival last month and were replaced by Florence + The Machine.
