The dates in question are dates in England that were canceled due to an injury to Dave Grohl and dates that were canceled because of the Paris attacks. In total, there were seven canceled dates.

This will be an interesting situation to follow as the Foo Fighters could be rewarded a lot of money if they win the case or settle.
