Speaking at an exclusive preview of the record from Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders, Taylor admitted: “I was on the road with the Foo Fighters on a three-week slog.

He continued: “I said: ‘Joe, I don’t know if I can handle the road any more. I am dying out here.
“So Joe said to me the same thing as [B.B.] and said: ‘Get the money, shut up and quit being a wimp.’”
