In an April 2021 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Grohl spoke about collaborating with his teenage daughter for a cover of X's 1980 anthem, 'Nausea.'
Turns out, Grohl was distantly related to one of the legendary band's members. Coincidentally, this distant relative, DJ Bonebrake, was a drummer too.
'Nausea' was supposed to be in the credits sequence of Grohl's upcoming documentary film called What Drives Us. But to Grohl, this song meant more than just a song that rolls through the credits.
"It has to do with lineage and family and inspiration," he admitted, "And I thought who better to sing it than my daughter Violet?"
When he proposed his daughter join him on the song, she sounded disinterested but asked him to send the song over anyway.
He'd sent her the song at 9 PM, and she texted him back shortly saying: 'Oh my God this is awesome, let's do it right now.'
