Dave Grohl attended Green Day’s Bottle Rock performance with his wife Jordyn. GROHL and his WIFE were spotted chatting with GREEN DAY drummer TRÉ COOL and actor ADAM DEVINE backstage at BottleRock Festival in Napa Valley, CA this past Saturday.
In a surprising move that’s sparked major reaction across the rock world, the Foo Fighters have officially parted ways with drummer Josh Freese. The decision comes just two years after Freese joined the band in the aftermath of Taylor Hawkins’ passing, stepping into one of the most emotionally and musically demanding roles in modern rock.
Freese, a veteran drummer known for his stints with Nine Inch Nails, A Perfect Circle, and Devo, shared the news on social media, revealing that the band had informed him they were “going in a different direction.” While he expressed shock and disappointment, he made it clear he wasn’t bitter, saying it was the first time in his 40-year career that he had been let go from a band.
In typical Freese fashion, he handled the moment with humor—posting a satirical “Top 10” list of fake reasons he might have been fired. Among the jokes: whistling Foo Fighters songs too often, not having enough facial hair, and being overly enthusiastic about poodles.
The response from fans and musicians alike has been intense. Many questioned the decision, pointing out Freese’s undeniable skill and professionalism. Former Foo Fighters drummer William Goldsmith expressed his disbelief, calling Freese “one of the greatest living drummers.”
At this time, the Foo Fighters have not issued an official statement or announced a replacement. With tour dates still on the horizon, the band’s next move—and new lineup—remain a subject of speculation. Meanwhile, Freese appears to be moving forward with optimism, hinting at future projects and continuing his decades-long run as one of rock’s most in-demand drummers.
