Foo Fighters Announce New Drummer Before Tour

Foo Fighters Announce New Drummer Before Tour

On Sunday the Foo Fighters used a livestream to humorously announce its new drummer, Josh Freese.

To tease the audience, the camera turned its attention away from the band chit chatting in a practice room to a knock at the studio door.

First the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ drummer Chad Smith came through the door holding a pair of drumsticks. Would he be leaving one of the biggest bands in the world for the Foos? No, someone’s white Benz was parked in front of him.

Next, Motley Crue’s Tommy Lee knocked on the door wearing a Vandals -shirt. Would he be trading in his revolving drum kit to join up with the boys? No, he had just picked up some Chinese food for the group that was mourning the death of its lovable drummer.

Then Tool’s drummer Danny Carey arrived with two standard poodles which he claimed to have groomed for Dave.
