It comes as swearing is strictly prohibited in the United Arab Emirates, and the use of the F-word is even considered a crime, punishable by up to one year in prison.A photo of the sign was posted by Consequence and, according to the outlet, the rock icon also referred to the visual reminder during the set.Holding it up to show the crowd, Grohl reminisced at his countless performances over the years and told his audience that he thought it was “the first time ever” he’d made it through a live set without swearing.
