Newspaper Beats Foo Fighters' Tough Tour Photo Policy With a Cartoonist
Just after we learned that Taylor Swift has a restrictive, beastly photo policy for her life shows, we're finding out the Foo Fighters aren't the best in that regard, either. During the group's North American Sonic Highways tour—happening now, with Dave Grohl and his broken leg chilling on a throne—"photographers must sign a contract that surrenders ownership of their work to the band following its initial publication," Consequence of Sound writes.
When the Foos played Quebec City this past weekend, the Le Soleil newspaper opted to work with a cartoonist instead of a photographer. An amazing solution on principle alone, but Francis Desharnais' resulting work is top-notch, black-and-white, evocative material.
