Foo Fighters done?

Dave Grohl has Foo Fighters fans abuzz.

The band's frontman told a crowd at England's Reading Festival in Leeds on Sunday that it was a special night, marking the end of the band's tour in support of their latest album Wasting Light.

"Well, well, well," he said, according to NME. "The (effing) Reading festival. You guys realize we've got a lot of songs to play. It's the last show of the tour and it's the last show for a long time.''

Grohl, 43, dedicated the band's performances of Walk and Monkey Wrench to his daughters Violet and Harper, and recalled former Nirvana mates Krist Novoselic and the late Kurt Cobain before launching into These Days.

But it's really not the last show for the Foo Fighters for a long time, according to the band's site.

They have dates lined up in September — Rock the Vote in Charlotte on Sept. 5, during the Democratic National Convention; followed by the Music Midtown Festival in Atlanta Sept. 21 and DeLuna Fest in Pensacola Beach, Fla., on Sept. 22.

No more Foo? Dave Grohl has left fans with an ominous message, announcing a live performance hiatus at the Reading Festival in England last night.

After playing a mammoth 26-song set and singing happy birthday to Dave Grohl's mum, the band brought the three-day music event to an incredible close.

But don't expect an encore any time soon.

"You guys realise we've got a lot of songs to play," the Foo Fighter's front man told the audience. "It's the last show of the tour and it's the last show for a long time."

Grohl also took time to remember his former Nirvana bandmates, Krist Novoselic and the late Kurt Cobain, by dedicating his 'Three Days' song to them.

He also brought his daughters Violet and Harper onstage and dedicated 'Walk' and 'Monkey Wrench' to each of them respectively.

If this is to be one of their last performances, they certainly bought the house down with the two-and-a-half hour gig.
