Josh Freese posted a Foo Fighters ROYALTY CHECK from SNL after his firing today.

In a surprising shake-up, the Foo Fighters have officially parted ways with drummer Josh Freese, ending his tenure with the band just two years after he stepped in following the death of Taylor Hawkins.

Freese, a veteran drummer with a 40-year career, announced the news himself, revealing that the band had informed him they were “going in a different direction” with their drummer. While expressing shock and disappointment, Freese maintained a positive tone, emphasizing that he holds no anger toward the band and remains grateful for the time he spent with them.

Josh Freese had been a key part of the Foo Fighters’ live shows throughout 2023 and 2024, including performances on the “But Here We Are” tour. His drumming helped the band heal and reconnect with fans after the emotional loss of Hawkins.

No official statement has been made by the Foo Fighters regarding Freese’s departure, leading to widespread speculation among fans about who will take over the drum throne. Some are hoping for Shane Hawkins, Taylor’s son, to step into the spotlight after his memorable performances with the band in recent tribute shows.

Freese, ever the entertainer, hinted that he might soon share a tongue-in-cheek list of “Top 10 reasons why Josh got booted from the Foo Fighters,” signaling that he’ll be moving forward with his trademark humor intact.

As the Foo Fighters look ahead to their upcoming tour dates, including a major headlining slot later this year, fans are left wondering what the future lineup will look like.
