Josh Freese lists 10 reasons he got fired from Foo Fighters

Ex-Foo Fighters drummer Josh Freese has shared a list of 10 reasons why he might have been fired from the band.

Freese announced he had been booted last Thursday, sharing that the band had done so with the "non-explanation" that they'd decided to go in a different direction. "No reason was given."

Freese, who has played with a who's who of artists from Sting and Guns N' Roses to Nine Inch Nails and Weezer, said he was "shocked and disappointed" by the decision, but added, "Stay tuned for my Top 10 possible reasons Josh got booted from the Foo Fighters' list."

The promised list included: "Once whistled My Hero for a week solid on tour"; "Never even once tried growing a beard"; and "could only name one song" by Grohl's hometown heroes, Fugazi.

He also revealed he'd promised Noodles, his former bandmate in the Offspring, that he could be the Foos' fourth guitarist. ("But you promised!" Noodles joked in the comments.)

After months of speculation, Freese joined the band officially in May 2023 in the wake of longtime drummer Taylor Hawkins' sudden death while the group was on tour in South America.

The Foos have kept a relatively low profile in recent months, and have just one upcoming show on the books, an October date in Singapore.
