Foo Fighters<\/a> welcomed a special guest on stage during their headlining performances at Leeds festival in the U.K. over the weekend. Dave Grohl<\/a>\u2019s daughter Violet appeared alongside the band for a rendition of \u201cMy Hero,\u201d a track she particularly wanted to perform.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been a special trip for me because on this trip we have a new Foo Fighter in the band with us,\u201d Grohl told the audience, adding, \u201cLet me tell you something\u2014she is the best fucking singer I know.\u201d The frontman gave his daughter a lengthy introduction, welcoming her with the accolade, \u201cLadies and gentlemen, the best singer in the Grohl family: Miss Violet Grohl right now, right here.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the clip, Grohl and Violet swap vocals and duet on the 1997 track, which comes off the band\u2019s album The Colour and the Shape<\/em>. The song becomes an emotional duet as father and daughter join their voices together on the chorus.<\/p>\n

The Foo Fighters also performed at Reading festival later in the weekend, where they paid tribute to late Prodigy singer Keith Flint. \u201cI wanna keep singing with you,\u201d Grohl told the crowd at one point before performing the band\u2019s track \u201cRun.\u201d \u201cI wanna sing this one for Keith from The Prodigy.\u201d He also recalled playing Reading with The Prodigy in 2009. \u201cThat was the craziest shit I\u2019ve ever seen,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
