Dave Grohl heals rift with daughter Violet at FireAid concert in his FIRST performance since cheating scandal

Dave Grohl took the stage for the first time since his cheating and baby scandal was revealed in September last year.
He joined Krist Novoselic, 59, and Pat Smear, 65, as the surviving members of pioneering grunge band Nirvana as part of the Fire Aid concert in Los Angeles.
The Everlong singer, 55, was uncharacteristically silent behind the drum kit during the band's four song set, leaving the introductions to Novoselic.
His daughter Violet Grohl, 18, filled in for the late Kurt Cobain on All Apologies off the band's seminal 1993 album In Utero.
Grohl was choked up as he drummed along to the song while watching his eldest daughter performing for the sold out and enraptured crowd.
Four months ago, Dave and Violet were reportedly not on speaking terms after it was revealed he'd cheated on his wife and her mother Jordyn Blum, 48, and fathered a child with his mistress.

Violet's participation in the first Nirvana reunion since 2020's Heaven Benefit Concert signals that tensions between the Foo Fighters frontman and his daughters are dissipating, at least somewhat.
Violet was one of four women who stepped into Cobain's shoes for the evening.
St. Vincent, 42, took the stage first to perform a blistering version of Breed off Nirvana's 1991 breakthrough album Nevermind.
Kim Gordon from Sonic Youth, who was instrumental in Nirvana's early success, booking them as an opening act for her more established band, was next.
Gordon, 71, looked incredibly youthful as she belted out School, which is off the band's 1989 debut album Bleach.
Joan Jett, 66, lent her famous voice to Territorial Pissings off of Nevermind.
Jett also performed with Nirvana in 2018 at the Cal Jam Music Festival in Devore, California.
The band was a surprise act and was not listed on Fire Aid's lineup alongside Lady Gaga, Green Day, No Doubt, Joni Mitchell, Katy Perry, Dawes, John Mayer and many others.

The surprise appearance and inclusion of Violet in Nirvana's set gave the evening a mystical flashback to the early 1990s.
On September 10, Dave shocked fans when he confessed to cheating on his wife Jordyn and welcoming a baby girl with an as-yet unnamed woman.
He announced to his 1.4 million followers on Instagram: '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,' he stated.
'I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.'
He concluded: 'We're grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.'
Dave, who has been married since 2003, did not share any information about his fourth child's mother in the post.
The rocker also shares Harper Willow, 15, and Ophelia Saint, 10, with Jordyn.

After the scandal broke, the Foo Fighters cancelled festival appearances and their 2025 tour and went on hiatus while Grohl pieced his personal life back together.
Grohl hired a divorce attorney before releasing the statement about his affair but has since fired them.
'He's no longer working with a divorce attorney and instead hoping to work things out with his wife,' a source told People in November.
A second source said the star 'loves his family' adding: 'Dave's been prioritizing his family. He knows he messed up.
'It's one of those situations where you don't realize what you have until you're about to lose it. He doesn't want to lose his family.'
