Foo Fighters have announced that they will release new album ‘But Here We Are’ this summer. Out now is new single ‘Rescued’.
The album will be the band’s first since the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins in March 2022. Produced by the band and Greg Kurstin, the record sees them processing the experience of the last year.
Hawkins died while on tour with the band in South America just over a year ago, aged 50. The band’s other members then returned to the stage with a variety of guests for two tribute shows in London and LA in September.
On New Year’s Eve, they posted an update announcing that they had decided to continue as a band. “Without Taylor, we never would have become the band that we were”, they said. “And without Taylor we know that we’re going to be a different band going forward”.
“We also know that you, the fans, meant as much to Taylor as he meant to you”, they added. “And we know that when we see you again - and we will soon - he’ll be there in spirit with all of us every night”.
‘But Here We Are’ is set for release on 2 Jun. Listen to ‘Rescued’ here:
