US EditionDave Grohl admits Foo Fighters "continuing after Taylor Hawkins was really complicated" and breaks silence on Josh Freese exit
- On Apple Music, Grohl told Zane Lowe that continuing after Taylor Hawkins' death was `really complicated`, and the interview took place on what would have been Hawkins' 54th birthday.
- After Hawkins' death, the band spent six or seven months discussing their future and called a new drummer to say they would move on without issuing a public statement.

- They will head out on the road in the UK and Europe this year for stadium shows, play North American dates in summer and autumn, and tour Australia and New Zealand in 2026 and 2027.
