Overview
- Freese was told in May 2025 that Foo Fighters were “going in a different direction” with their drummer and says no reason was given.
- In a new Modern Drummer interview, he says he has “a lot to say” and holds “a couple small theories,” but declines to elaborate.
- He describes the split as sudden despite positive experiences in the band and praise from Dave Grohl during shows.
- Foo Fighters named Ilan Rubin as their new drummer, and Rubin appears on the band’s single “Asking For A Friend.”
- Freese has resumed work with Nine Inch Nails and A Perfect Circle, played shows with Weezer, and says no one should feel sorry for him, adding the apparent drummer swap was coincidental.
