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.
Even veterans of rock 'n' roll find themselves taken aback.
"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.
When it comes to the life of a true pro, bouncing back is an artform.
Known for his work with bands such as The Vandals, Devo, Guns N' Roses, and A Perfect Circle, Freese joined the Foo Fighters in 2023, seizing the opportunity to explore a new dimension with the prestigious band. And while this isn't the end of his career, it signifies the start of another chapter.
In the realm of music, Freese is well-known for his freelance spirit and ability to navigate the ebb and flow of the industry. With his signature sticks poised for action, this definitely isn't the last we'll hear from the talented drummer.
- Although the announcement caught Josh Freese off guard, he hasn't ruled out re-entering the world of entertainment, particularly music, given his versatile career with bands like Devo, Guns N' Roses, and A Perfect Circle.
- Foo Fighters' decision to replace Josh Freese might be the latest news in the US music scene, but Freese's contributions to the world of music, stretching from rock 'n' roll to his guest appearances, continue to resonate and captivate audiences in the entertainment industry.
