Foo Fighters drop surprise free EP

The mysterious countdown clock on the Foo Fighters' official website finally ticked down to all zeroes Sunday night, and it was revealed that Dave Grohl's surprise for fans was a new EP titled “Saint Cecilia”. The five-track collection, recorded at Austin, Texas' Saint Cecilia Hotel was offered up as a free download. A pre-order of the Saint Cecilia EP is also available at the Foo Fighters' site.

In addition to the new EP, Grohl also penned a long letter to fans that tracked the Sonic Highways journey, detailed his gruesome leg injury and paid tribute to those killed in the Paris terror attacks. The EP was meant to be an end-of-the-tour thank you gift to fans, but the final leg of the Sonic Highways jaunt was cut short by the November 13th attack in Paris. Foo Fighters also posted a link for fans to donate to victims of the attack.

Throughout the letter, Grohl also hinted that the Foo Fighters might be going on a well-deserved break, and possibly a long hiatus.
