"Break A Leg". Dave Grohl Creates A Limited Edition Of Merch
It seems like everybody heard about Dave Grohl’s accident in Sweden and how it created a massive buzz. First going on stage after the injury, than - an epic Iron Throne that saved the following gigs.
But the story has no ending and Foo Fighters’ team created a limited edition of merch dedicated to this accident. One of them shows an x-ray of Dave’s leg, the other one - famous sketch of a throne with comments. And finally, an incredible print that says “Break a Leg”. These t-shirts are currently available for pre-order and typically made “to commemorate the unforgettable performance in Sweden” (as it is said on the official store).
They say, when life gives you lemmons, take it because - hey, it’s free lemmons! Foo Fighters continue to give us such a great examples of self-irony, great marketing and rock’n’roll. I’m sure not every musician could be ready to make fun about broken leg and create a limited edition of merch based on such strange situation. No wonder that this story will be in some way monetized but we must admit that this idea is really creative.
