<\/p>\nCrowds at Saturday night’s Foo Fighters concert in Launceston have taken to social media to express their surprise and delight at Beaconsfield mining disaster survivor Brant Webb making a special guest appearance on stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In 2006, Todd Russell and Brant Webb spent 14 days trapped a kilometre underground after a mine collapse in Beaconsfield in Tasmania’s north. \u00a0<\/p>\n
During the ordeal, the pair requested Foo Fighters’s music to boost their spirits.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Upon hearing about this, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl promised them beer and concert tickets after their rescue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“They asked for water and an iPod with Foo Fighters music on it,” Grohl told the crowd.<\/p>\n
“It was such a huge and profound moment for me \u2026 it really hits home.”<\/p>\n

“That’s so cute,” one concertgoer could be heard saying.<\/p>\n
Another commented: “How amazing!” and “this was special.”<\/p>\n
