Rock’s Mr Nice Guy Dave Grohl has revealed how his latest gig was almost entirely ruined by Blue singer Lee Ryan after he got so blindly drunk that he nearly had to be removed from the venue.

Grohl was performing with his new super group Sound City Players in London and the gig went well but then at the after show party, Lee got so drunk that he nearly manages to get himself thrown out.

Grohl spoke to NME and said: "There was this English singer who was with us who was completely wasted. We almost had to throw him out. Have you heard of this band, Blue?

"The guy kept telling us how many million records he's sold. I was like, 'Really? You?'"

Grohl recently spoke out against reality TV shows such as the X Factor and how they stifle creativity.

He recently said in a speech at SXSW: "Who's to say what's a good voice and what is not a good voice? The Voice? Imagine Bob Dylan playing Blowin' in the Wind in front of Christina Aguilera.

"There is no right or wrong. There is only your voice, your voice screaming through an old recording console, singing from a laptop, echoing from a street corner, a cello, a turntable, a guitar.

"It doesn't matter. What matters most is that it's your voice. Cherish it. Respect it. Nurture it. Challenge it. Stretch it. Scream it until it's gone. Because everyone's blessed with at least that. Who knows how long it will last?"
