FOO FIGHTERS fire drummer JOSH FREESE: ‘A Bit Shocked And Disappointed’
Drummer Josh Freese has been fired from the FOO FIGHTERS.
Two years after he was hired on to fill for the late Taylor Hawkins, Freese posted a statement on Instagram in which he said the FOO FIGHTERS called him earlier this week to let him know that they had decided “to go in a different direction with their drummer.” Freese stated “No reason was given,” and later joked, “Stay tuned for my ‘Top 10 possible reasons Josh got booted from the FOO FIGHTERS’ list.”
Josh’s full statement reads as follows:
“The FOO FIGHTERS called me Monday night to let me know they’ve decided ‘to go in a different direction with their drummer.’ No 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.
“In my 40 years of drumming professionally, I’ve never been let go from a band, so while I’m not angry just a bit shocked and disappointed. But as most of you know I’ve always worked freelance and bounced between bands so, I’m fine.
“Stay tuned for my ‘Top 10 possible reasons Josh got booted from the FOO FIGHTERS’ list.
