Foo Fighters Dismiss Drummer Josh Freese After Two Years

Josh Freese, who became Foo Fighters' drummer in 2023 after Taylor Hawkins' death, has been dismissed from the band after two years. Freese announced his departure on social media, stating he was told the band was 'going in a different direction' without further details. While expressing disappointment, he reaffirmed his ongoing freelance drumming career and received significant support from fans and fellow musicians. Foo Fighters have not officially commented on his exit or named a replacement. The band's next scheduled performance is at the Singapore Grand Prix in October, which will be their first show since frontman Dave Grohl's recent personal scandal. Freese is known for his prolific work with bands such as Nine Inch Nails, Devo, Guns N’ Roses, and A Perfect Circle.
