Mick Jagger has recruited Dave Grohl for a surprise single, Eazy Sleazy.
Referencing the COVID-19 enforced lockdown, the rock collaboration was co-penned by the 77-year-old singer alongside the Foo Fighters frontman, with the former taking on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, while the latter handles drums, as well as contributing guitar and bass lines.
It was produced by The Rolling Stones star's longtime musical collaborator Matt Clifford. Jagger said:
"I wanted to share this song that I wrote about eventually coming out of lockdown, with some much needed optimism - thank you to Dave Grohl for jumping on drums, bass and guitar, it was a lot of fun working with you on this - hope you all enjoy Eazy Sleazy!"
Grohl added: "It's hard to put into words what recording this song with Sir Mick means to me. It’s beyond a dream come true. Just when I thought life couldn’t get any crazier......and it’s the song of the summer, without a doubt!!"
Jagger and The Rolling Stones were due to spend 2020 on the road with their North American No Filter Tour, but their dates were postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic. In April 2020, they dropped Living In A Ghost Town, their first original song since 2012.
Grohl, meanwhile, has unveiled details of a new documentary called What Drives Us, out on April 30, as well as an autobiographical book, The Storyteller, set to arrive in October. Foo Fighters, meanwhile, put out their 10th studio album, 'Medicine At Midnight', in February.
