John Freese confirmed on social media that he has left the band in a shocking statement where he says he supports the decision
Foo Fighters have brutally sacked their drummer Josh Freese says he’s “shocked” by the move. The musician has played on stage with the iconic band for the last two years and has said he enjoyed working with the other members.
Josh took to social media to share a lengthy statement where he explained he would no longer be part of the group. He said he was “shocked” by the move but supports the band with the decision.
Posting on Instagram, he said: “The Foo Fighters called me Monday night to let me know they’ve decided ‘to go in a different direction with their drummer. 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.”
He added: “In my 40 years of drumming professionally, I’ve never been let go from a band, so while I’m not angry – just a bit shocked and disappointed.” However, it seems that Josh is trying to see the funny side of the situation as he said: “But as most of you know I’ve always worked freelance and bounced between bands so, I’m fine.
