Josh Freese Returns as Nine Inch Nails Drummer Ahead of North American Tour

News summary

Josh Freese has rejoined Nine Inch Nails as their live drummer, replacing Ilan Rubin, who in turn has taken Freese's former position with the Foo Fighters. Freese, who previously played with Nine Inch Nails from 2005 to 2008, left the band originally to focus on his family as he and his wife were expecting their third child. After being dismissed from the Foo Fighters in May 2025, Freese expressed excitement about returning to Nine Inch Nails, praising the band's intense live performances and the satisfaction he gets from playing with them. The switch is notable for its cyclical nature, as Rubin had replaced Freese in Nine Inch Nails back in 2008. Nine Inch Nails is set to kick off their North American Peel It Back Tour starting August 6 in Oakland, with most dates already sold out. Freese promises unforgettable shows during the tour, highlighting his enthusiasm to be part of the band's energy once again.
