On May 20, 2015, the Foo Fighters were the final musical act to perform on Late Show with David Letterman , continuing their long association with the host as he wrapped up his 33-year career in late-night television. The show ended with a montage of Letterman highlights while the Foo Fighters played ” Everlong “, which Letterman said had significant meaning for him after his open-heart surgery in 2000, introducing them as “my favorite band, playing my favorite song.” The band postponed their international tour to make the appearance; the tour resumed on May 24, with a performance at Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Norwich, England.
