Josh Freese, the drumming maestro, has temporarily parted ways with the Foo Fighters - a shock that left even him gobsmacked.
Breaking the news on Instagram, the heavily-touring drummer disclosed that the Grohl-led band had opted for a change in drummers, leaving both fans and Freese himself, utterly surprised.
"Monday night, the Foo Fighters phoned me to utter that they're choosing a fresh path with their drummer. No rhyme or reason was offered," Freese candidly revealed, sprinkled with a pinch of perplexity.
Remaining gracious despite the unsolicited call, Freese expressed gratitude for the unique, memorable moments shared with the band.
"The past two years, both on and off-stage, have been delightful. I extend my best wishes, and heartfelt good luck to the rock legends as they continue their success," he warmly added, exuding nothing but support for the illustrious group.

"In my four decades as a drumming professional, I've never been dismissed from a band. Caught off guard? Absolutely. Yet, I'm far from anger-just a bit stunned," he expressed, maintaining his composure.
