The band was set to perform for the first time since the scandal became public knowledge, with a show at the Soundside Music Festival in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

But they suddenly pulled out on Thursday.

A statement said: “Foo Fighters will no longer be appearing at this weekend’s Soundside Music Festival.

“Please check the festival website for more information.”

Grohl, 55, had a reputation as one of rock’s good guys before announcing on social media on September 10 that he had welcomed a daughter with another woman.

He said he was now working to regain the trust of longtime wife Jordyn Blum, 48, along with their three daughters.

He said: “I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage.

“I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her.

“I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.

“We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.”

Grohl and Blum share three daughters: Violet, 18, Harper, 15 and Ophelia, 10.

The two older daughters both opted to remove themselves from social media following their dad’s eyebrow-raising announcement.

Grohl, one of the most recognisable faces in rock, started his career as a drummer at Nirvana, forming the Foo Fighters after Kurt Cobain’s suicide.

In 1994, he married photographer Jennifer Leigh Youngblood.

But they divorced in 1997 and Grohl admitted cheating on her.

In 2003, he married Blum after the pair met at a whisky bar in West Hollywood.

Before Grohl announced the extra-marital affair, he was spotted with Blum at Wimbledon as the Foo Fighters toured the UK over summer.

They were sat side-by-side, laughing and appearing happy.

Blum has now been left shocked by the revelations, People reported.

Grohl’s rumored mistress has been dubbed as a “porn goddess” and named by reports as Annaliese Nielsen.

The 40-year-old, whose real name is Lara Nielsen, is reported to have had a 15-year affair with the married Foo Fighter frontman – although she vehemently denied the claims when approached by The U.S. Sun.
