Florence and The Machine did a killer Foo Fighters cover

Check out their take on "Times Like These" filling in for Dave Grohl and co. at Glastonbury.
As we all know, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl recently pulled off his latest ‘why are you so awesome?’ move by falling off the stage in Sweden, breaking his leg and then sticking around to finish the show in a temporary cast. As gangster as that was, it turns out even the super-est of rock Super Dads need some healing time after getting six screws put into their leg. The Foos have had to cancel a swath of shows – one of which being their scheduled performance at the Glastonbury festival. To the rescue: Florence and the Machine. No surprise, they absolutely killed it – but one of their set’s best moments was undoubtedly when Florence Welch took some time to reach out to Grohl: “We would like to dedicate this song to the legend and all-around incredible human being Dave Grohl. He was so incredibly kind and supportive to us when we were first starting out and we were so sad to hear that he broke his leg because we love him so much.”
After which they broke into the most gorgeous cover of the Foo Fighter’s ‘Times Like These’ that has ever been performed. I know I haven’t heard every cover that has ever been performed and I’m still sticking by my absolutely unqualified statement…the chances of me being proven wrong on this one are pretty much nil.
And here’s the audio for when that video undoubtedly gets pulled down:
