Foo Fighters Release First New Song Since 2023, Pay Tribute To Former Band Members

Foo Fighters marked the band's 30th anniversary with the release of 'Today's Song,' the group's first new song since the 2023 album But Here We Are. In a lengthy note to accompany the release, Dave Grohl pays tribute to former band members including the recently fired drummer Josh Freese, founding drummer William Goldsmith, guitarist Franz Stahl and, most poignantly, the late drummer Taylor Hawkins, who died in 2022. More from Deadline Foo Fighters Fire Drummer Josh Freese: "I'm Not Angry, Just A Bit Shocked & Disappointed" Nirvana's Remaining Members Reunite At FireAid, Including Surprise Singer Foo Fighters Cancel Soundside Music Festival Show After Dave Grohl's Family Announcement; Jack White & Greta Van Fleet Step In Watch the music video for the new song below. In a portion of the letter addressed to Hawkins, Grohl, who apparently plays drums on the new song, writes, 'Your name is spoken every day, sometimes with tears, sometimes with a smile, but you are still in everything we do, everywhere we go, forever. The enormity of your beautiful soul is only rivaled by the infinite longing we feel in your absence. We all miss you beyond words. Foo Fighters will forever include Taylor Hawkins in every note that we play, until we do finally reach our destination.' The new song, described in a press release as the band's 'opening salvo of its next chapter,' arrives 30 years since the release of Foo Fighters self-titled debut album and is the first new music since Grohl announced last year that he had fathered a daughter outside of his marriage and asked for his family for forgiveness. 'Over the years, we've had moments of unbridled joy, and moments of devastating heartbreak,' Grohl writes. 'Moments of beautiful victory, and moments of painful defeat,' he wrote. 'We have mended broken bones and broken hearts. But we have followed this road together, with each other, for each other, no matter what. Because in life, you just can't go it alone. 'It should go without saying that without the boundless energy of William Goldsmith, the seasoned wisdom of Franz Stahl, and the thunderous wizardry of Josh Freese, this story would be incomplete, so we extend our heartfelt gratitude for the time, music, and memories that we shared with each of them over the years. Thank you, gentlemen.' The band's current line-up includes Grohl (vocals and guitar), Rami Jaffee (keyboard), Nate Mendel (bass), Chris Shiflett (guitar) and Pat Smear (guitar). A new drummer has not been announced. Foo Fighters have scheduled five overseas tour dates for this fall: Oct 2 – Jakarta, ID – Carnaval Ancol Oct 4 – Singapore, SG – F1 Oct 7 – Tokyo, JP – Saitama Super Arena Oct 10 – Osaka, JP – Glion Arena Kobe Nov 14 – Mexico City, MX – Corona Capital Best of Deadline TV Show Book Adaptations Arriving In 2025 So Far Sean 'Diddy' Combs Sex-Trafficking Trial Updates: Cassie Ventura's Testimony, $10M Hotel Settlement, Drugs, Violence, & The Feds 2025 TV Series Renewals: Photo Gallery

Dave Grohl honors late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins on debut album's 30th anniversary: 'We all miss you'

Foo Fighters are celebrating the 30th anniversary of their eponymous 1995 debut album by paying tribute to those who have rocked with them over the years, including their beloved late drummer, Taylor Hawkins. The Grammy-winning rockers dropped a surprise single in honor of the milestone achievement on Wednesday. The roaring track, titled 'Today's Song," follows frontman Dave Grohl as he reflects on his own personal growth, navigating life's hardships, and the passage of time — themes that he further expanded upon in a poignant statement published on the band's website. 'Over the years, we've had moments of unbridled joy, and moments of devastating heartbreak,' Grohl wrote in part. 'Moments of beautiful victory, and moments of painful defeat. We have mended broken bones and broken hearts. But we have followed this road together, with each other, for each other, no matter what. Because in life, you just can't go it alone.' The 56-year-old musician also took a moment to thank the band's previous members, including their latest drummer Josh Freese, who replaced Hawkins behind the drums on the last Foo Fighters tour and announced that he'd been let go from the group in May. 'It should go without saying that without the boundless energy of William Goldsmith, the seasoned wisdom of Franz Stahl, and the thunderous wizardry of Josh Freese, this story would be incomplete,' Grohl explained, 'so we extend our heartfelt gratitude for the time, music, and memories that we shared with each of them over the years. Thank you, gentlemen.' And last, but certainly never least, Grohl shared a heartfelt message to Hawkins, who died suddenly at 50 while the band was on tour in 2022. 'And… Taylor. Your name is spoken every day, sometimes with tears, sometimes with a smile, but you are still in everything we do, everywhere we go, forever,' he confirmed. 'The enormity of your beautiful soul is only rivaled by the infinite longing we feel in your absence. We all miss you beyond words. Foo Fighters will forever include Taylor Hawkins in every note that we play, until we do finally reach our destination.' But the end isn't in sight just yet. In his note, Grohl shared that 'I am still grateful for life, love, music, and the mystery of where this path may lead us next,' adding, 'Let's keep moving.' 'Today's Song' comes almost two years after the release of the band's 2023 album But Here We Are, which served as an exploration of grief following the death of Hawkins and Grohl's mother, Virginia. The album was shortlisted as one of Entertainment Weekly's best albums of the year at the time, calling it a 'stirring exploration of how we process grief and the many discordant emotions that come with it."

Billy Ray Cyrus Calls Elizabeth Hurley a ‘One of a Kind Young Lady'

Billy Ray Cyrus is head over heels for Elizabeth Hurley, with the country star praising his famous girlfriend in a sweet comment. On Tuesday (July 1), the actress shared an Instagram photo of herself lounging on a boat in an animal-print swimsuit, smiling as she poses underneath a rainbow stretching across the sky behind her. 'Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue,' she wrote in her caption, quoting The Wizard of Oz's 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow.' 'And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.'

'Thank you for sharing our song in such a sweet… beautiful… and truly wholesome way!!!!' he wrote. 'You are one of a kind young lady!!!' The musician added that Hurley is 'truly an original.' The post comes as Cyrus has shared a new cover of 'Over the Rainbow,' a charity single that will benefit the National Museum of African American Music. Cyrus and the model have been dating for a few months now, going public with their romance in April after reconnecting over text amid the Hannah Montana actor's divorce from singer-songwriter Firerose. In May, Hurley told Entertainment Tonight, 'Billy's a very, very fabulous person.' 'He's a very gentle man, very nice,' she added at the time. 'We're very happy.' The couple's sweet Instagram interaction comes shortly after Billy Ray attended daughter Miley's Something Beautiful premiere with Hurley at his side. Afterward, the swimwear designer shared a video of herself and her boyfriend packing on the PDA at the event, as well as a photo of the 'Flowers' singer and Hurley's son, Damian, watching the Something Beautiful film together. 'The babies are all grown up,' Hurley captioned the latter post on Instagram, adding the hashtag '#proudparents.' 'What a night to remember,' Billy Ray replied at the time. 'This is what rock n' roll is all about… the kids are together. SO PROUD xxx.'
