Dave Grohl Explains Why Foo Fighters Moved On From Josh Freese

"We called, as a band, all of us called, it wasn't just me," Grohl told Zane Lowe.

Dave Grohl has addressed Josh Freese’s departure from Foo Fighters for the first time, explaining that the decision to move on from the drummer was a collective one that “didn’t happen overnight.”
