Overview
- In a new Apple Music 1 interview, Grohl called continuing after Taylor Hawkins’ death “really complicated” and said the band still talks about Hawkins every day.
- Grohl described a six-to-seven-month break in 2024 that led to the decision, saying the entire band phoned Freese to thank him and tell him they would move on.
- Freese previously said he was “shocked and disappointed” by the call and later shared that Foo Fighters’ music didn’t fully resonate with him given the pressure of the role.
- Ilan Rubin has taken over on drums for Foo Fighters, with Freese returning to work with Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails.
- Foo Fighters announced their 12th album, Your Favorite Toy, shared its title track, and outlined stadium dates across Europe and North America with Australia–New Zealand shows slated for 2026–27.
