Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has described his band’s new greatest hits compilation as "premature" and suggested it looked like "an obituary".
The singer told BBC Newsbeat: "It still seems premature because we’re still a functioning, active band. Those things can look like an obituary. We were asked to do this a long time ago. We wrote it into a deal a long time ago – that’s how it works."
He also suggested that he the record has been released at the request of their label, SonyBMG, and that he wasn’t impressed by the tracklisting, adding: "They [Sony] started asking about four years ago, and we said, ‘Don’t we need some hits?’ It’s like a CliffsNotes version of what we’ve been doing for the last 15 years. I think there are better songs than some of those."
