The Foo Fighters have parted ways with drummer Josh Freese, effective immediately. Freese announced on Instagram that his bandmates had decided to go in a different direction with their drummer, citing no reason for the decision. The 52-year-old musician has played with Guns N’ Roses and Devo, but expressed surprise at being let go from the Foo Fighters after joining the band following the sudden death of original drummer Taylor Hawkins in 2023. Freese stated he enjoyed his time with the Foo Fighters and supports their decision, joking about potentially creating a “Top 10 possible reasons” list for his departure.
