Violet Grohl has released a haunting tribute to the late, great American film-maker David Lynch, on what would have been the Montana-born cinematic legend's 80th birthday. Lynch, one of the most influential directors in film history, whose credits include Blue Velvet, The Elephant Man, Wild At Heart, Lost Highway and Eraserhead, passed away on January 16, 2025.
What's Heaven Without You, Grohl's second single, and the follow-up to
December's THUM, was co-written with Grohl's close friend Persia Numan, daughter of English New Wave/Synth-Pop legend Gary Numan, and producer Justin Raisen (Kim Gordon/Yeah Yeah Yeahs/Viagra Boys).
Speaking about the single, Grohl says, "This song was written in David Lynch's memory alongside two of my favorite collaborators in the world, Persia Numan, and Justin Raisen. A few days after the chaos and devastation of the LA fires, we came together in our sadness and grief and let it pour out into this song. We hope you can find some resonance in it. The impact he left on art is truly magical, we miss you David xx"
