Probably some of Foo Fighters' biggest fans, the collective from Cessena, Italy known as Rockin' 1000, has teamed up yet again to perform a cover in unison of the band's latest single, "Saint Cecilia," and it's as magical as you would have hoped.
The moving cover was reportedly the result of spliced-together footage of fans around the world performing their own cover of the song, with organizers perfectly mixing the vocals together, SPIN reports.
The song appears on the band's most recent release, a free five-song EP Saint Cecilia, which had been teased via the band's official website and later released in tribute to the victims of the Paris terror attacks.
The new EP was originally planned for a release in conjunction with the end of the band's extensive world tour that was launched support of their latest LP, Sonic Highways, that had also been paired with an HBO docuseries of the same name.
After the horrifying attacks in Paris, the band's frontman Dave Grohl and the band were forced to cancel the rest of their European tour. Thus, the band decided to shift gears and dedicate the album to the innocent victims and their friends and families. In a press release, the frontman penned an extensive letter in regards to the project.
"This project has now taken on an entirely different tone. As has everything, it seems..." he stated. "There is a new, hopeful intention that, even in the smallest way, perhaps these songs can bring a little light into this sometimes dark world."
During the tour, for which Grohl sported a full leg cast due to a broken leg, the band answered a call from Rockin' 1000 who had performed a cover of the band's infectious 1999 single, "Learn to Fly" in unision in a field in the small Italy town. As a result, Foo Fighters' delivered a rare performance in the Italian suburb where they invited the group's organizers onstage and performed memorable covers of the Sex Pistols and Queen.
