Their songs have also found their way onto movie soundtracks, such as their cover of Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar" for the movie "Mission: Impossible 2."

Marking a significant milestone in their career, the Foo Fighters were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021, celebrating their achievements in the music industry.
