Last night the final ever episode of the legendary Late Show with David Letterman, and Foo Fighters were the show's last ever musical guests. Watch the band perform 'Everlong' below.
In the finale of the American TV institution, the talk show and comedy national treasure saw out his 33 year run of the programme with guests Bill Murray, Tina Fey, Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin, Peyton Manning, and Barbara Walters.
Foo Fighters were the last ever musical guests, dressing for the occasion in black tuxedos and performing Letterman's 'favourite song by his favourite band' - 'Everlong'.
Watch footage from the show below, with the band's performance beginning around the 10 minute 45 second mark.
The band have a long history with Letterman. They were the first band to perform on the show in 2000 after his five week break from heart surgery, at which point Letterman described them as his 'favourite band'. Not only that, but the band had a week-long residency on the show once, and Letterman's production company Worldwide Pants helped the band make their Sonic Highways documentary.
