John explained in an exclusive chat with Bizarre's Howell: 'We love it here. Chrissy loves it and the kids love it.
'We spent our last Christmas here and two or three Christmases ago we were here as well.

'It's too warm and sunny and we both grew up in a colder weather environment so it doesn't feel like Christmas if it's warm.'
Asked if that meant they would consider relocating here, he added: 'Yes, we would. I mean, especially now.
'We always talk about the possibility of moving to New York or London.
'Those are two cities that we would definitely consider living in. We love walking cities.

'There's something very appealing about both of them and Chrissy and I feel like we thrive in those kinds of environments, so it's something to consider for sure.'
The All Of Me singer is such a fan of the UK that he chose it as the place to kick off his Get Lifted — 20th Anniversary Tour.

The tour celebrates his 2004 debut album, which featured the massive hit Ordinary People.
John said: 'It's fun to reminisce about this time. I tell a few stories in the show.
We like to be in a colder place. We don't like to be in Los Angeles for Christmas
John
'My last tour was like a solo show where I literally told stories the whole time. So this is a lot less of that and it's the full band and a lot more music.
'A lot more music'
'When I think about Get Lifted, I associate a lot of that early promo and those early shows with London and with the UK.

'I just remember playing the Jazz Cafe and those early gigs, and Ordinary People especially took off here.
'It's perfect that we start the tour here.' John is now somehow juggling a six-month tour with work on his 11th studio album.
He said: 'The way I'm approaching the next album is, how do I make that one the best one I've ever done?
'How do I collaborate with people who are going to make me better and bring out something special in me?

'That's what I'm going to focus on and the awards will take care of themselves.
'We've written a lot prior to this tour. Most of it's written.'
One thing you can't expect from John and Chrissy is a reality show, as he revealed they have turned down offers.

'Yeah, we've been approached,' he said. You know, she's very entertaining and I'm like her straight man.
'Every comic needs a straight man.
'I feel like we share plenty on social media and we like being in control of what we share.
So anything we would do on the unscripted side, it would have to be with us having control over what we share.

Bedroom encounters
'Shows are built around people arguing with each other. We're just not interested in that version.'
The couple now have four kids. But asked if they would like more, John said hastily: 'No. That was a quick answer. I'm all done.'
There's no doubt his soulful, sexy music has helped make plenty of other babies though.
We always talk about the possibility of moving to New York or London
John
Asked whether fans tell him about bedroom encounters with his tunes as the soundtrack, he said: 'Oh, so many awkward conversations.

'We hear about that. We hear about people getting married which is not as awkward.
'But either way, it just lets you know that you make music that is part of people's lives.'

My intimate afternoon with Dave Grohl at The Savoy explains how he won back his wife after his baby with someone else
DAVE Grohl and his wife Jordyn Blum put on a united front as they returned to the Royal Box at Wimbledon in their first public appearance together since it was revealed he had fathered a secret love child with another woman - and I know exactly how he managed to win his partner of 22 years back. Twelve months is a long time in showbiz and it was a London tennis tournament last June. Advertisement 12 Dave Grohl and wife Jordyn Blum looked to be on happier terms at Wimbledon this week Credit: Getty 12 The Foo Fighters singer previously came forward about having an affair and admitted to having fathered a child with Jennifer Young (pictured in February) Credit: BackGrid 12 The pair beamed as they watched the tennis on Wednesday - following his baby scandal Credit: Alamy 12 The Sun's Fabulous Assistant Editor (celebrity) Kelly Allen met Dave at The Savoy in 2017 for a press event Credit: Supplied They appeared together last year where fans noted he seemed 'snappy and irritated' - but later in the summer the truth about his infidelity emerged. Advertisement His wife was already well aware of the affair and pregnancy but the mea culpa public announcement was a last ditch attempt to save their relationship. The 56 year old frontman welcomed a baby girl with Jennifer Young, a 38-year-old LA-based, rock-and-roll fan. "I've recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage ", he "I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness." He added: "We're grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together. Dave." Advertisement Since his shock admission, the couple have been trying to get their marriage back on track. In February those close to them revealed that Jordyn, 49, had 'forgiven' her husband. No one was more shocked by the news than me. I have been a huge fan of Dave since the 90s when he was a drummer in Nirvana and I believed he was one of the 'good guys'. I saw the Foo Fighters for the first time in 2003 at the Oxegen Festival in Punchestown, Ireland and was totally obsessed with Dave. Dave Grohl's alleged 15-Year affair and secret love child I remember as a young assistant producer back in 2007 working on BBC Radio 1 the excitement around the station broadcasting live backstage at a Foo Fighters gig in Wembley . Fearne Cotton told me beforehand: 'Dave Grohl is just the nicest man. He's so supportive of new musicians.' I was thrilled when I caught a glimpse of him from afar. Advertisement It was the same in 2015 at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Norwich. Everyone at all levels had nothing but good things to say about him. I saw first hand the former Nirvana drummer stand at the side of the stage watching Catfish and the Bottleman as well as a then much less famous Taylor Swift take to the stage before them. There was a sense that he wasn't a typical 'rockstar' but a family man as he told the 25,000 strong crowd: "I'm officially obsessed, she might want to get a restraining order. "To my opening band, Taylor Swift . Taylor and the Swifts. My kids will kill me for saying this, but this one is dedicated to Taylor Swift.' While he often had lots of women (me included) swooning in his presence it appeared there was no one he had eyes for apart from Jordyn - who he met in 2001. Advertisement People always commented about how his eyes lit up when he talked about her and how in love they seemed. 12 Relations appeared frosty between Dave and Jordyn last year at Wimbledon Credit: Darren Fletcher 12 Fans noted he seemed 'snappy and irritated' at the tennis championship in 2024 Credit: Darren Fletcher 'My future ex-wife' He previously revealed he met his wife at the Sunset Marquis Whiskey Bar in Los Angeles in 2001. He was with the band's late drummer Taylor Hawkins, who was chatting up Jordyn's friend. Advertisement He revealed: 'I spotted these totally hot chicks appear, like a vision - my friend's date and her friend. "They didn't really want to talk to me, probably because I looked gross, so I did what any man in my position would have done: I got them totally drunk. "In the end, I wound up writing, 'You're my future ex-wife' with my number on a piece of paper and giving it to Jordyn. 12 Dave met 'hot chick' Jordyn in 2001 and gave her his number on a piece of paper that said 'you're my future ex-wife' Credit: Getty 12 The pair went on to have three daughters together, Violet Maye, 19, Harper Willow, 16 and ten-year-old Ophelia Saint Credit: Getty Advertisement 12 The whole family often went on tour with Dave and the band Credit: Getty "We started to see each other but then I got a bit freaked out by being in a relationship and stopped calling. "Anyway, we went on tour and our drummer overdosed. [Tayor later died in 2022 from a separate overdose]. It was bad. Really bad. And it made me put things into perspective. "When we got back to LA, I called her up and said, 'Let's go for a drink'. Just to wind me up, she appeared wearing a wedding ring... and we've been together ever since.' I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness Dave Grohl The pair went on to have three daughters together, Violet Maye, 19, Harper Willow, 16 and ten-year-old Ophelia Saint. Advertisement The whole family often went on tour with the band with Dave sharing previously: 'Having had such a good relationship with my mom and dad, I always imagined I'd have a family myself one day. I just couldn't see it happening while I was playing in a band and going on tour and being a working, travelling musician. "Then it dawned on me that you can do both and, fortunately, we are able to. A lot of people struggle with it and [the band] knows how fortunate we are that we can have the luxury of touring less and having our families come out when we want or need them to.' GROHL MEET UP 12 Kelly interviewed Dave before his Glastonbury gig Credit: Getty Having been to see Foo Fighters more times than I can count, I was devastated when I failed to get tickets to see them headline Glastonbury Festival in 2017 - so I was thrilled when I was sent to interview them in London the day before they went to the festival instead. I - along with another newspaper journalist - waited excitedly at the posh five-star Savoy Hotel on the Strand, London for our moment with the band. Advertisement Eventually, we were ushered into the grand suite with giant opulent velvet sofas and plush floral curtains - it felt like the wrong environment to be sitting down with Dave and his bandmate Taylor. We swear the whole f**king time. I basically say f**king in every sentence. I think I have anxiety driven Tourette's Dave Grohl We were offered tea poured into fancy tea cups before the chat about what it meant to them to headline at the Pyramid stage at Worthy Farm meant to them. They had been forced to pull out in 2015 after the frontman fell off the stage and broke his leg in Sweden . I was utterly charmed by them both - particularly Dave who gave enthusiastic answers to all my questions. 12 The Foo Fighters headlined Glastonbury Festival in 2017 Credit: Getty Images - Getty Advertisement He was particularly amused when I told him headliner Adele had been scolded the previous year for swearing 33 times in 90 minutes. "You aren't allowed to f**king swear at the show? Good luck,' he warned the BBC. 'Oh god, they are in for a big surprise with that one. Sh*t I didn't realise that. We swear the whole f**king time. I basically say f**king in every sentence. I think I have anxiety driven Tourette's." Even his leg injury was treated with humour admitting: "There is no problem with my leg at all. "The only thing that I can't do it cross my legs. It doesn't even go off going through the security in airport. I'm so f**king bummed. I would love to tell that story." Advertisement ROYAL CONNECTIONS 12 Prince Harry embracing Dave at the Invictus Games closing concert in 2014 Credit: Paul Edwards - The Sun He also revealed close pal Prince Harry [Foo Fighters played the Invictus Games closing concert in 2014] came to see him while he was recuperating from the operation in London. "Just after surgery, the first person to visit me was Will, the drummer from Coldplay and he brought me a paper. When I got to the hotel then Harry came over. He brought me a gift. It was a pillow you put your iPad on. It was really thoughtful. He's f**king great. Our nanny Alexis came in and it took her five minutes before she realised she was sitting in a room with Prince Harry . He's pretty unassuming. He's great." After posing for a snap , Dave said with a glint in his eye 'Make sure you watch our set'. Of course I tuned in at home. Dave took to the stage and said: 'Yesterday we were doing an interview and someone said 'You know you're not supposed to swear. Advertisement "There's no swearing at Glastonbury.' I was like 'What the f**k is that supposed to mean?' and I guess Adele holds the record for the most f**ks at Glastonbury. "Now I love Adele but guess what f**k, f**k, f**k….. Ok I think we've broken the record. I think that was more than 33.' I was absolutely bowled over by him mentioning my interview on stage in front of all those people. While recovering from an affair is never easy - I imagine that charm and cheekiness has him get his marriage back on track. There is no doubt the loss of Taylor three years ago had a profound effect on Dave but I'm hoping this Advertisement Dave Grohl's career timeline Nirvana's beat keeper Grohl first pounded his way into the limelight as the powerhouse drummer for grunge gods, Nirvana. With his thunderous rhythms driving classics like "Smells Like Teen Spirit," he became the heartbeat of a generation. But tragedy struck when frontman Kurt Cobain's untimely demise in 1994 left fans and bandmates reeling. Foo Fighters: From grief to glory Grohl swapped his drumsticks for a guitar and microphone, birthing the Foo Fighters in 1995. The band's debut album, recorded entirely by Grohl himself, was an instant hit. Dave recruited a fine ensemble of musicians to make the band a more collaborative effort and they have gone on to rack up an enviable greatest hits collection including "Everlong", "The Pretender" and "Learn to Fly". Collaborations and cameos: A star-studded rock odyssey! Never one to rest on his laurels, Grohl's star power attracted collaborations with rock titans like Queens of the Stone Age, Nine Inch Nails and Paul McCartney. His uncanny knack for blending genres saw him jamming with everyone from punk legends to pop icons. Documentaries and directorial dreams Grohl's talents extend beyond the stage. He directed the acclaimed documentary "Sound City" in 2013, celebrating the iconic recording studio. His 2014 HBO series "Sonic Highways" took fans on a musical road trip across America, blending history and harmony.

Tyson Fury slaps Usyk's face on SEX DOLL and sends rival X-rated message after performing retirement U-turn
TYSON FURY has been getting to grips with an Oleksandr Usyk faced SEX DOLL just hours after hinting a trilogy fight with his rival is in the pipeline. The Gypsy King seemingly performed a U-turn on his fifth retirement from boxing on Thursday by revealing an apparent date for a third showdown with his two-time conqueror. 4 Tyson Fury has seemingly come out of retirement for a trilogy fight with Oleksandr Usyk Credit: GETTY 4 The Gypsy King trolled his rival by slapping his face on a sex doll Credit: INSTAGRAM@TYSONFURY 4 Fury joked the doll is 'gonna get f****d' Credit: INSTAGRAM@TYSONFURY Fury, 36, is adamant he was robbed of victory in the back-to-back Riyadh rumbles with the slick southpaw, which earned him a pretty penny. And he's seemingly trying to get an early handle on the elusive Olympian ahead of what would be a shock third showdown by plastering his face on a blow-up sex doll. The former two-time unified heavyweight champion posted a video of himself holding the clothes-less doll with a picture of Usyk's face on it to his Instagram account. After manager Spencer Brown claimed he'd been to the "sex shop", Fury replied: "I've got myself a little Usyk. READ MORE ON FURY "I'm getting ready for when we fight in April 26. In the meantime, he's gonna get f****d." His accompanying caption for the video read: "Just getting ready for @usykaa fight. "But in the meanwhile, i'll be at it 🤣😜🤣🤣🤣😎#livinglife."

In the months which followed, the Wythenshawe warrior repeatedly shut down the prospect of setting foot inside the ring again and insisted he was content with his achievements.

"It's a fight that I think can happen for sure if I decide to come back and the deal's right." Discussing a third option of taking on Dubiois, Fury added: "If I was to return and fight Dubois, he wouldn't land a glove on me, it would be a one-sided beatdown. "But I wish him luck in his fight against Usyk, but I would annihilate him." Usyk will be back in action on July 19, taking on IBF titleholder Daniel Dubois at Wembley for all the heavyweight marbles.
