Foo Fighters shows start in May, but new drummer has not been announced
foo fighters is about to start its first tour after the death of taylor hawkins. The iconic drummer died a year ago, during the band’s tour of South America. In 2023, the group returns to activity, with a show scheduled in Brazil in September.
The first performances take place in May, but a new drummer has not yet been announced. As per a statement issued by the band, it is not possible to replace hawkins, and his legacy will always be there, but a new musician must take over the drumsticks. Check out some of the names quoted for this task:
Rufus Taylor
Son of roger taylordrummer of queen, rufus plays in the band The Darkness. In addition, he took over the drumsticks of his father’s band in concerts on the tour. Queen + Adam Lambert. His experience in big concerts is one of the points that favored his choice.

Shane Hawkins
One of the least likely but possible choices is the child of taylor, Shane Hawkins. Although he is a 17-year-old young man, the musician showed quality when playing with foo fighters at concerts in honor of his father. His performance in “my hero” was powerful and exciting.
Brad Wilk
Brad has a more than qualified resume. In addition to being a member of Rage Against the Machinewas in two supergroups: Audioslave It is Prophets of Rage. He also performed with foo fighters in tribute to taylor hawkins and has a free schedule in 2023 after the postponement of the tour of Rage Against the Machine – caused by injury Zack de la Rocha.
josh freese
freese already played with Armas e Rosas, A Perfect Circle, Nine Inch Nails, Paramore, The Offspring and many other bands. He is one of the most renowned studio musicians in the industry. Despite his demanding schedule, it would come as no surprise if grohl took care of the tasks in the studio, with the presence of josh only on stage. Remember the drummer’s performance in the tribute to taylor hawkins:
