The Foo Fighters have cancelled a show after Dave Grohl recently revealed that he welcomed a baby outside of his marriage.

The chart-topping band have taken to social media to announce that they will "no longer be appearing" at Soundside Music Festival in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

In a statement posted on Instagram, the band said: "FOO FIGHTERS WILL NO LONGER BE APPEARING AT THIS WEEKEND'S SOUNDSIDE MUSIC FESTIVAL. PLEASE CHECK THE FESTIVAL WEBSITE FOR MORE INFORMATION (sic)"

The Foo Fighters haven't cited a specific reason for cancelling their planned appearance at the festival.

However, earlier this month, Dave confirmed that he had fathered a child outside of his marriage.

The 55-year-old musician vowed to "regain" the trust of his family after sharing the news via social media.

Dave - who has been married to Jordyn Blum since 2003 - wrote on Instagram at the time: "I've recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage. I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness. We're grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together."

The Foo Fighters star has three daughters - Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, ten - with Jordyn, and Dave previously admitted that they've had a huge influence on him and his songwriting.

Dave - who was married to Jennifer Youngblood between 1994 and 1997 - told TIME magazine in 2012: "It's changed everything that I do. When you have kids, you see life through different eyes."
