The Foo Fighters had completed their set at the annual Big Day Out Festival when Grohl left the Parkland Showgrounds and headed for his hotel in near by Brisbane on a moped. Australian police pulled the singer over and arrested him for Driving Under the Influence after he under went a breathalyzer test which showed his blood alcohol level was beyond the legal limit. He was taken to the Southport Watchhouse and booked on the charges and was later released on bail. 

He appeared before the Southpark Magistrate Jan. 31st and was fined $400 and had his Australian driving privileges revoked. Needless to say Grohl will not be doing any more driving while down under. The Foo Fighters still have two more dates scheduled in Australia before they return home to prepare for their U.S. Tour with the Red Hot Chili Peppers which gets underway on March 24th.
