Who d have guessed that the 2017 book by Dave Grohl s mother that told the stories of she and other moms who raised rock stars would, years later, turn into a televised road trip between the Foo Fighters frontman and his mamma, Virginia Grohl? Yet that s indeed the case the pair s new docuseries doing just that,
In a teaser clip that emerged on Sunday (April 18), viewers got their first look at that series that s been in the works for the past few years. In it, Dave and Virginia visit Rage Against the Machine s Tom Morello, Rush s Geddy Lee, Miranda Lambert and Pharrell Williams, each musician with their respective mother.
In 2017, Dave Grohl s mother, Virginia Grohl, released a book about her and other moms who raised rock stars called
From Cradle to Stage. Now, that tome is being turned into a TV show by the Foo Fighters frontman and his mama, with Dave directing the special six-part series.
The new show, produced by Live Nation Productions and Endeavor Content, will be a part of the Paramount+ streaming service, which launches next month. Each episode of
Cradle to Stage will focus on one particular rocker-and-mother combo, along with input from Dave and Virginia.
While the slate of stars is yet to be announced, Virginia s book featured the moms of Amy Winehouse, Dr. Dre, Beastie Boys Mike D, R.E.M. s Michael Stipe, Maroon 5 s Adam Levine and others, in addition to chronicling her own story of raising the now-former Nirvana drummer.
