On the anniversary of his introduction as Foo Fighters' new drummer, Josh Freese pays tribute to Taylor Hawkins

Taylor Hawkins and Josh Freese playing the drums onstage.

A year ago today, Foo Fighters announced that Josh Freese would be joining them behind the drum kit, in place of the late Taylor Hawkins. The news was revealed during a streaming event, Foo Fighters: Preparing Music For Concerts

The new man was introduced as the band were filmed chatting, their conversation interrupted as a trio of well-known drummers – Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith, Motley Crue's Tommy Lee, and Tool's Danny Carey – appeared onscreen, before the camera cut to Freese. And now he's taken to social media to remember the broadcast, and to pay tribute to the man he replaced.
