It's been over a year since the tragic passing of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, who passed away in March 25, 2022 while the band was in Bogotá, Colombia.

The band has already announced several headlining shows this year, and they just surprised fans with the announcement of a brand-new album, the first they've released since Hawkins' passing.


The album, But Here We Are, is set to arrive June 2.

The band said in a release per Variety:

A brutally honest and emotionally raw response to everything Foo Fighters endured over the last year, 'But Here We Are' is a testament to the healing powers of music, friendship and family.

Courageous, damaged and unflinchingly authentic, 'But Here We Are' opens with newly released lead single 'Rescued,' the first of 10 songs that run the emotional gamut from rage and sorrow to serenity and acceptance, and myriad points in between. 

The first single from the album, "Rescued," has also been released the coincide with the announcement.

The drummer has not yet been identified, but many are speculating it is longtime session drummer Josh Freese, who performed with the band during the Taylor Hawkins tribute concerts.

Reps for the group did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
