Dave Grohl

The Foo Fighters icon drives immense traffic whenever he opens up about his 30-year rock career.

Grohl gave a brutally honest interview confessing that he has been essentially reading lips in public spaces for years due to severe high-frequency hearing loss.

Refusing to wear standard in-ear monitors or hearing aids during live stadium rock shows because he feels it strips away his spatial awareness, the former Nirvana drummer bluntly explained: "My ears are completely shot."
