FOO FIGHTERS drummer Josh Freese has announced on his social media that he has been fired from FOO FIGHTERS.
Josh Freese joined FOO FIGHTERS in 2023 after Taylor Hawkins passed away in 2022. He is also a regular drummer for DEVO and THE VANDALS, and has also participated in tours with A PERFECT CIRCLE, NINE INCH NAILS and THE OFFSPRING.
Josh’s statement is as follows:
“I got a call from FOO FIGHTERS on Monday night and told me that I had decided to go in a different direction about the drummer. I haven’t heard why. Still, I’ve been having fun with them both on and off stage for the last two years, and I’ll support them if they think it’s the best for the band.
I’ve been working as a professional drummer for 40 years, but this is the first time I’ve been fired from a band. I’m not angry, but I’m a bit shocked and disappointed. But as most people know, I’ve always been freelance and it’s fine.
