Foo Fighters Release Long-Awaited Collaborations Album Forever (Legendary Edition)
In a moment that has electrified rock fans across the globe, the Foo Fighters have officially dropped their long-awaited collaborations album, Forever (Legendary Edition) — a project that redefines their legacy and brings together some of the most powerful voices in modern music. Released under RCA Records, the album is both a celebration of the band’s enduring influence and a heartfelt tribute to their late drummer, Taylor Hawkins.
The project, which had been teased for nearly two years, is a sprawling 14-track collection that features an eclectic lineup of guest artists — from rock veterans to contemporary icons. Among the standout collaborations are “Eternal Flame” featuring P!nk Alecia, “Edge of Tomorrow” with Dave Grohl’s longtime friend Paul McCartney, and the thunderous “Legends Never Die,” which pairs the Foo Fighters with Metallica’s James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich. The album even includes a surprise track, “Starlight Anthem,” recorded with Billie Eilish, showcasing the band’s willingness to bridge generational gaps.
Speaking about the album during a recent press conference in Los Angeles, frontman Dave Grohl said, “Forever (Legendary Edition) is about unity — about how music keeps us alive, even when we lose people we love. Every song was built around that spirit of connection. It’s not just a record; it’s a conversation with everyone who has ever inspired us or been inspired by us.”
Musically, Forever (Legendary Edition) finds the Foo Fighters blending their classic anthemic sound with fresh sonic textures. Tracks like “Run Wild” and “Hearts Collide” deliver the band’s signature guitar-driven energy, while “Golden Sky,” a soulful duet with Chris Stapleton, adds a dose of Americana warmth. Fans have already praised the production for its emotional depth and dynamic range, calling it “the most complete Foo Fighters album since Wasting Light.”
Critics are equally enthusiastic. Rolling Stone described the album as “a love letter to rock’s past, present, and future,” while NME hailed it as “an epic statement that only a band like the Foo Fighters could pull off.” The record’s emotional centerpiece, “Forever,” features archival vocals from Taylor Hawkins — a poignant and powerful moment that left fans deeply moved.
Since its release, Forever (Legendary Edition) has dominated streaming platforms, debuting at number one on both Spotify’s Global Rock chart and Apple Music’s Top Albums list. The Foo Fighters have also announced a world tour titled “The Forever Tour”, set to kick off in early 2026, featuring many of their collaborators joining them on stage for select performances.
Beyond the star power and the thunderous riffs, Forever (Legendary Edition) stands as a reminder of why the Foo Fighters remain one of the most beloved rock bands of the modern era. It’s a record born from loss, love, and an unbreakable commitment to keeping the spirit of rock alive.
As Grohl summed it up perfectly: “This isn’t just our album — it belongs to everyone who still believes that music can bring people together. Taylor would have wanted it that way.”
With Forever (Legendary Edition), the Foo Fighters have not only honored their past but carved a bold, emotional new chapter in rock history — one that truly lives up to its name.
