Foo Fighters won Best Rock Song for "Run" at the 60th GRAMMY Awards. This marks the second time a Foo Fighters song has won Best Rock Song, following "Walk" for 2011. Frontman Grohl is now a 16-time GRAMMY winner.
The band is currently on tour and thus were not present to accept their award at the GRAMMY Awards Premiere Ceremony.
"Run" was co-written by Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, and Chris Shiflett.
