Was just thinking....while not a fan of Nirvana or Foo Fighters, it's very cool me thinks how David Grohl could move form behind the drum kit in relative obscurity like most drummers, to be the front man, lead singer and guitarist for another, both be very successful.
You might say Phil Collins did this, but it was in the same band and he did not pick up a new instrument and still played drums so I don't think he counts.
Are there any other examples like Grohl out there?
