The good news was followed by the sad passing of the Foo Fighters frontman's father who died five days after his granddaughter's birth.

His father, journalist Jim Grohl, was said to have long been suffering from cancer.

According to Jim Grohl's obituary, he spent much of his career in Washington, D.C. working for the Scripps-Howard News Network. He also served in the military, working as an editor of the Stars and Stripes newspaper. He was also a special assistant to Senator Robert A. Taft.

The post uploaded by Dave Grohl's non-profit group read,  "Bittersweet news - congratulations David Grohl and Jordyn Blum who have welcomed a new baby girl #3 Ophelia Grohl! The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away!!" 

Grohl was previously married to photographer Jennifer Youngblood from 1994 to 1997. 

The 45-year old musician married Blum on August 2, 2003.

According to Grohl, being a father "changed everything".

In a 2010 interview with TIME magazine, Grohl shared that fatherhood has impacted his music.

"When you have kids, you see life through different eyes. You feel love more deeply and are maybe a little more compassionate. It's inevitable that that would make its way into your songwriting," he said. 

Grohl also shared that his kids changed the way he lived his life.

He said that when he didn't have kids, he used to enjoy being on tour nine months out of the year. When he became a father, even a few days away from his kids proved to be very difficult.

Recently, Grohl and the rest of the Foo Fighters announced that "Sonic Highways", their album, will be available for puchase on November 10.
