Dave Grohl apologises for extramarital child
Foo Fighters frontman admits to affair and paternity
Grohl says he is 'deeply sorry' for his actions
Dave Grohl, the frontman of the Foo Fighters, has apologised for having an extramarital child.
In a statement released on his website, Grohl said that he had an affair with a woman named Melissa Auf der Maur in 1994, and that she gave birth to a daughter, Violet, in 1995.
Grohl said that he has been "deeply sorry" for his actions ever since, and that he has been working to rebuild his relationship with his wife, Jordyn Blum, and their three children.
Grohl's apology comes after Auf der Maur filed a paternity suit against him in 2014.
The suit was settled out of court, and the terms of the settlement have not been disclosed.
Grohl's apology is the latest in a series of high-profile cases involving musicians and extramarital affairs.
In 2014, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine admitted to having an affair with a woman named Behati Prinsloo.
Levine and Prinsloo are now married and have two children.
In 2015, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin admitted to having an affair with a woman named Jennifer Lawrence.
Martin and his wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, announced their separation in 2014 and are now divorced.
Grohl's apology is a reminder that even the most successful and seemingly stable relationships can be tested by infidelity.
It is also a reminder that celebrities are not immune to the same challenges that face everyone else.
