The Foo Fighters paid tribute to guitarist Pat Smear during a Los Angeles concert, dedicating their performance of “My Hero” to him. Smear is currently recovering from a neck injury that has sidelined him from recent shows.

As captured in an Instagram reel posted by the band, the concert began with a pre-recorded announcement, seemingly delivered in the voice of frontman Dave Grohl. This announcement informed the audience of approximately thousands of fans that they were about to view a message intended for Smear.

The clip showed a message intended for Smear, though the specifics of the message were not detailed in the Instagram reel. The dedication of “My Hero” served as a clear display of the band’s support and affection for their longtime member.

Pat Smear, a founding member of the Foo Fighters, has been an integral part of the band's sound since 1995. His current injury has prevented him from participating in the band's recent touring activities. The band has continued to perform, with other guitarists filling in for Smear during live shows. The dedication to Smear underscores the band’s close camaraderie and appreciation for his contributions.
