Dave Grohl Invites Blind Kid to Sit Onstage, Let's Him Play Guitar

Dave Grohl is kind of the best guy ever. He's donated signed gear to charity; performed at fundraisers, and handed over his $2,000 guitar to a 10-year-old kid after letting him rock out onstage with the Foo Fighters — and that's just over the course of this last month. 

The singer/guitarist restored our faith in humanity once again on Thursday night (October 18), when he invited a blind kid named Owen and his dad to sit on the side of the stage during a Foo Fighters' concert in St. Paul, Minnesota. As if that wasn't cool enough, he walked over to his young fan in the middle of "La Dee Da" and let him touch and strum his guitar.

A fan caught footage of Grohl's interaction with Owen. Watch the video below, and look out for the heartwarming moment around the 3:10 mark.

When the story was first reported, Owen was being described as "exhausted," but after careful research Consequence of Sound discovered he was blind. His mother left a thoughtful comment to the outlet on Facebook:

"Thank you for sharing this. I am Owen’s mom," Stacy Anderson wrote. "Owen is in fact blind, he also has Autism, Crohn’s Disease and developmental disabilities. Owen loves concerts so much. He was definitely not tired, he likes to be held up front at most shows and we take turns holdiyhim up so he can dance. Dave Grohl and all of the crew were incredibly kind to our family."
