Established in 1994, the band has featured several members and was in the public eye last year when drummer Taylor Hawkins died unexpectedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That could have been the end of the band, but Grohl recently announced three upcoming appearances by <em>Foo Fighters<\/em> at US festivals in 2023.  Hawkins appears to be featured in the Foo Fighters van in the image above, alongside Grohl (driving).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pinball tease came in the form of a video on YouTube which you can watch below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fighting soon...\" width=\"850\" height=\"478\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kn9hfJUvboU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It appears as though the pinball will feature an alien invasion theme, with the band saving the Earth, Ghostbusters-style.
