Watch Toyah Willcox & Robert Fripp Cover The Foo Fighters’ “All My Life”

Toyah Willcox and her husband, King Crimson founder Robert Fripp, shared a cover of the Foo Fighters hit “All My Life” in 2002.
The cover is the latest in the pair’s “Sunday Lunch” series, which they launched during the COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020. While Fripp plays the song’s melody on an electric guitar, Willcox – naked and painted in blue, with sheets of gold foil stuck to her body – sings lead vocals and sprays herself with a rainbow of paint.
Take a look at the cover below:
Willcox and Fripp’s latest cover comes at a pivotal time for the Foo Fighters. The band are currently preparing to play their first concerts since the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins, who passed away in Bogotá, Colombia on March 25.
The group will host two shows in Hawkins’ honor – the first at Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday September 3 and the second at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Tuesday September 27. Novoselic, Josh Homme of Queens Of The Stone Age, Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen, Supergrass, Liam Gallagher and Mark Ronson.
Frontman Dave Grohl appeared on stage – alongside Bruce Springsteen – during Paul McCartney’s headliner at Glastonbury 2022 yesterday (June 26). They performed The Beatles’ ‘I Saw Her Standing There’ and ‘Band On The Run” by the Wings. It was the first time Grohl had performed in public since Hawkins’ death.
Over the past few weeks, Willcox and Fripp have put their “Sunday Lunch” spin on songs from Grace Jones, Rage Against The Machine, INXS, Hole, Radiohead and Garbage.
Last August, Willcox released her 16th studio album, “Posh Pop,” which she premiered with “Levitate” featuring Simon Darlow and Bobby Willcox. Discussing the album with NME, Willcox explained that much of the album was made during the height of the pandemic.
“When COVID stopped everything [in 2020], it allowed me to focus on writing and recording,” Willcox said. “We recorded in Simon’s outdoor studio with just him, my husband and me.”
King Crimson co-founder Ian McDonald – who also co-founded hard rock titans Foreigner – died in February aged 75. According to a representative, McDonald “passed away peacefully on February 9, 2022 at his home in New York City, surrounded by his family.” No cause of death has been officially revealed. It follows the recent deaths of fellow King Crimson members Gordon Haskell and Bill Rieflin.
