The group has had guests on Letterman every night this week, staring with the Zac Brown Band, then Heart's Ann and Nancy Wilson and swamp-rocker Tony Joe White.

Also on Thursday, Foo Fighters debuted its new single Something From Nothing, recorded in Chicago with Nielsen on guitar. It'll appear on the group's Sonic Highways album, out Nov. 10.
