Foo Fighters drummer Josh Freese has shared that he is no longer a part of the band.
Taking to Instagram to share the news with followers, Freese, 52, alleged that he had been fired just two years after he was brought in to replace late drummer Taylor Hawkins.
“The Foo Fighters called me Monday night to let me know they’ve ‘gone in a different direction with their drummer’. No reason was given,” he began.

“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.”
Freese went on to add that in the past 40 years of his career as a drummer he has “never been let go from a band”.

“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.”
Freese simply captioned the post, “Well, there it is.”
