Letterman chokes up as he introduces the Foo Fighters performance on The Late Show with David Letterman. The Fighters perform Miracle, which Letterman reveals was playing when he and his young son learned how to ski.

Lo and behold, it’s me and it’s Harry coming down this mountain. The video is stunning because the kid couldn’t be cuter … and the music the guy chose to put underneath the ski video is the song you’re going to hear now from the Foo Fighters.

Douglas announces on Letterman that he has stage four cancer.  He was diagnosed three weeks prior and completed his first round of treatment.

It had been bothering me for a while. In the early summer, I had a really sore throat … and I actually went through a litany of doctors and tests and they didn’t find anything…The percentages are very good. I would hate to say, but right now, it looks like it should be 80 percent, and with certain hospitals and everything, it does improve.
