Ex-Foo Fighters Drummer Josh Freese Lists 10 Causes Why He Bought Fired

As he promised final week, ex-Foo Fighters drummer Josh Freese has shared a comical record of the ten potential causes he may need been fired from the band — none of which appear terribly real looking. 

Freese introduced he had been booted from the band, seemingly unceremoniously, final Thursday, sharing that the band had finished so with some of the callous non-explanations within the working world: that they’d determined “to go in a special course,” including, “No motive was given.”

Reps for the band provided no motive or perception, however musically talking, the time period “completely different course” is nearly comical, as Freese is likely one of the most versatile drummers working within the rock realm, with credit starting from Sting to Weapons N’ Roses, from 9 Inch Nails to Weezer, and at Coachella in 2023 he performed with each 1000 Gecs and Danny Elfman — on the identical day. Thus, it’s no shock that Freese mentioned he was “shocked and disenchanted” by the choice, though he concluded by saying, “Keep tuned for my ‘Prime 10 potential causes Josh acquired booted from the Foo Fighters’ record.”

The comical record, starting from “As soon as whistled [the Foo Fighters’ hit] ‘My Hero’ for every week strong on tour,” “By no means even as soon as tried rising a beard,” and that he may solely identify one music by Grohl’s hometown heroes Fugazi are simply three highlights, together with a crack that he’d promised Noodles, his former bandmate within the Offspring, that he could possibly be the Foos’ fourth guitarist. (“However you promised!” Noodles joked within the feedback.)

After months of hypothesis, Freese joined the band formally in Could of 2023 and appeared set for a protracted stint, because the band toured relentlessly within the wake of longtime drummer Taylor Hawkins’ sudden demise whereas the group was on tour in South America. The Foos have saved a comparatively low profile in current months, and have only one upcoming present on the books, an October date in Singapore.
