The Foo Fighters Twitter account shared the news on Sunday — and wrote they decided to kick off the sessions with “one of Dallas, Texas’s favorite Jewish daughters.”
Shortly after, Loeb, 53, shared she thought they did a “great job” on Twitter, “Great job to Dave Grohl and@GregKurstinwith the cover AND the@xoBetseyJohnsondress!”
In October, Grohlopened up to PEOPLE about his late and former bandmate Kurt Cobainin honor of his new memoirThe Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music.
Cobain’s tragic death in 1994 deeply affected Grohl, he said, “I think about him all the time.”
“I just had a dream about him two nights ago,” he continued. “I only knew Kurt for about three and a half years, but in that time we went through multiple lifetimes. Kurt’s songs touched the world.”
That same month, Grohl wasinducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Famefor a second time, along with the Foo Fighters, the band he started after Nirvana.
“None of these guys ever aspired to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame,” he said at the time, “so it’s a beautiful feeling to know that we’re going to share this experience together.”
