Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl spent his 56th birthday helping those impacted by the devastating wildfires sweeping through Los Angeles County. On Tuesday, January 14th, Grohl volunteered with Feed the Streets, a local charity, assisting in preparing meals for displaced families and emergency responders.
Captured in Instagram Stories, Grohl was seen cheerfully working alongside volunteers, stirring large pots of homemade chili and packaging dinners for those most affected by the ongoing disaster. The wildfires, which began in Pacific Palisades, have spread rapidly across the region, causing extensive damage and forcing tens of thousands to evacuate their homes.
The human toll has been significant, with at least 25 confirmed fatalities reported by CNN. The crisis has disrupted major events, including Grammy week activities. Billboard announced the cancellation of all its planned gatherings, expressing solidarity with the Los Angeles community.
Grohl is not alone in his relief efforts. The music industry has mobilized extensively to support those impacted. Artists like Doja Cat have partnered with the American Red Cross, creating custom merchandise to raise funds. Major music companies, including ASCAP, Sony Music Group, and Warner Music Group, have established emergency funds and made substantial donations to aid recovery efforts.
