Grohl Details Foo Fighters' Drum-Seat Shuffle: Freese Out, Rubin In
Dave Grohl says Foo Fighters’ firing of Josh Freese was a band decision made in 2024 during a shift after Taylor Hawkins’ death, not an overnight move, and the group brought in Ilan Rubin as their drummer. Freese had previously said he didn’t resonate with the band’s music, and the broader 2025 drummer-swapping saga also saw Freese return to Nine Inch Nails; the interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music previews the band's new album.
