Josh Freese says he's "shocked and disappointed" as Foo Fighters "boot" him from the band
Touring drummer Josh Freese has said he was fired from Foo Fighters earlier this week and didn't get much of a reason.
Josh Freese has said that he and Foo Fighters have parted ways.
Freese joined the Foos as their touring drummer in 2023, following the sudden passing of their drummer Taylor Hawkins in March 2022. Prior to that, he had played for Guns Nâ Roses, Nine Inch Nails, Paramore, Devo and more.
AdvertisementIn a post on Instagram, Freese has claimed that the band told him his tenure with them was coming to an end earlier this week.
âThe Foo Fighters called me Monday night to let me know theyâve decided âto go in a different direction with their drummerâ,â he wrote. âNo reason was given : (. Regardless, I enjoyed the past two years with them, both on and off stage and I support whatever they feel is best for the band.â

He added: âIn my 40 years of drumming professionally, Iâve never been let go from a band, so while Iâm not angry â Iâm shocked and disappointed. But as most of you know Iâve always worked freelance and bounced between bands so Iâm fine. Stay tuned for my âtop 10 possible reasons Josh got booted from the Foo Fightersâ list.â
Foo Fighters havenât yet commented on Freeseâs statement. NME has reached out to their representatives for comment.
RecommendedIn other news, it was announced this week that Foo Fighters would make their live return this October to headline the Singapore F1 Grand Prix concerts.
The October 4 show will mark the bandâs first show since August 2024. It is their first show of 2025, and according to their website is currently their only gig of the year.
It will also mark the bandâs first appearance together since Grohl courted controversy in September when he revealed that he had fathered a daughter outside of his marriage.
Following the news, Foo Fighters subsequently cancelled their scheduled headline slot at the Soundside Music Festival. In December, Hellfest founder and director Ben Barbaud claimed that the band had scrapped a summer 2025 tour, suggesting that Foo Fighters were primed to headline the French festival but were instead replaced by Muse.
