Concrete and Gold is the upcoming ninth studio album by American rock band Foo Fighters. It is scheduled for release on September 15, 2017. The album's first single, "Run", was released on June 1, 2017, and topped the US Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart the following month. The second single, "The Sky Is a Neighborhood", was released on August 23, 2017.
While touring in support of the band's 2014 studio album, Sonic Highways, band frontman Dave Grohl fell off the stage and broke his leg at a June 2015 concert in Sweden. Grohl still managed to complete the show, and through the use of his self-designed "throne", a large chair that could sit him comfortably, the band still managed to function, continuing their tour through the year and even managing to record and release the Saint Cecilia EP and song. After the tour, in early 2016, the band announced they would be entering an indefinite hiatus. While no reasons were given at the time, in 2017, Grohl admitted to Rolling Stone that privately, he was still struggling from the injury, still unable to walk and enduring daily, multi-hour physical therapy sessions. He secluded himself from the band, and set a goal for himself to stay away from music for an entire year while he focused on recuperating. However, at six months to the day, he cancelled the plan when he began writing the lyrics to the track "Run".
