QUEBEC CITY, Quebec, Canada — The Foo Fighters and frontman Dave Grohl have been grappling with bad luck this year. Lightning storms plagued their early June headlining gig at the Rock am Ring festival in Germany, forced the evacuation of their July 4 RFK Stadium show in DC and also cut short their July 11 gig on Quebec’s Plains of Abraham.
