Josh Freese Joins Foo Fighters as New Drummer After Taylor Hawkins' Passing.

The Foo Fighters have introduced Josh Freese as their new drummer ahead of their upcoming tour and album release, the first since the death of their previous drummer, Taylor Hawkins, last year. Freese, a veteran musician who has played with bands like Nine Inch Nails and Weezer, was featured in an hourlong streamed rehearsal that included surprise cameos by other drummers and a new song, "Rescued." The Foo Fighters were devastated by Hawkins's death, and the streamed event appeared to reflect their lingering grief.
