The Next Foo Fighters' Album Has Been Written & Will Be Here Soon, Says Band's Guitarist

Foo Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett has revealed to Rolling Stone that the band have already begun making the follow-up to their last album, 2011's Wasting Light. Shiflett revealed that, after taking a "short hiatus" as a band, he and the rest of the band have already begun making their next album, with recording for the project expected to begin at the beginning of 2014.

Last October frontman Grohl announced that the band were going on hiatus indefinitely after a run of extensive touring on the back of the release of Wasting Light. He wrote on FaceBook, "I'm not sure when the Foo Fighters are going to play again," sending shockwaves through the band's fan-base that this might be it. When the band performed for the last time a year ago, he also said that it would be the last time for a long time until the band perform ago, so with the news of a new album coming out so soon after this 'hiatus,' are we to assume that Grohl was exaggerating, or maybe the band have decided to give up touring? We couldn't say, but we shall keep you updated with album news as it develops.
