Foo Fighters have been praised for helping the recent flood victims in Australia.

The band played a charity concert in Brisbane last night (March 27) to help raise money for the victims of the Quuensland flooding.

"(Dave Grohl) said, 'This is what I know how to do. I don't know how to fix people's roofs, but I know how to make music and make money,'" polictican Anna Bligh told News.com.au.

She added: "They wanted to speak about how many people were out of their homes... they are genuinely interested. They were wanting to help. Foo Fighters care about people who need help."

Meanwhile, Foo Fighters have announced that they will play a series of gigs in fans' garages next month.
