Dave Grohl has confirmed that the Foo Fighters are taking a break.

The band's frontman posted a message on Facebook breaking the news, however he explained that the band are not splitting up for good.

Grohl wrote: "We truly never could have done any of this without you. Never in my wildest dreams did I think Foo Fighters would make it this far. I never thought we could make it this far, to be honest.

"There were times when I didn't think the band would survive. There were times when I wanted to give up. But I can't give up this band. And I never will. Because it's not just a band to me. It's my life. It's my family. It's my world."

Grohl continued: "Yes, I was serious. I'm not sure when the Foo Fighters are going to play again. It feels strange to say that, but it's a good thing for all of us to go away for a while... I never want to not be in this band. So, sometimes it's good to just put it back in the garage for a while."

He concluded: "Me, Taylor, Nate, Pat, Chris, and Rami... I'm sure we'll all see you out there somewhere... Thank you, thank you, thank you."
