"Thank you Chrissie for presenting this award to us," commented frontman Dave Grohl. "This is amazing, we love you very much, but we also love all of the fans for voting for our band for this award. We're very thankful and very happy - sorry we couldn't make it tonight, but we will be seeing you over the summer at some big outdoor festival that nobody knows we're playing. It's Glastonbury! So we'll see you at Glastonbury - thanks a lot everybody!"

Foo Fighters have been of the biggest rock bands in the world over the last decade and counting. Over the course of the band's career, four of its albums have won Grammy Awards for Best Rock Album. As of May 2014, the band's seven albums have sold a combined 11.1 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The band's eighth studio album, Sonic Highways, and their second recorded with Butch Vig, was released in November 2014.
