nnFoo Fighters have reportedly chosen Ilan Rubin, former touring drummer for Nine Inch Nails, as their new drummer according to The Hollywood Reporter. Rubin brings experience from bands like Paramore and Angels & Airwaves, though it’s unclear if he’ll be a permanent member or touring replacement. The move follows Josh Freese’s departure in May after the band decided to ‘go in a different direction.’ Rubin becomes the second drummer since Taylor Hawkins’ 2022 death. The band’s next scheduled shows begin October 2 in Indonesia, giving Rubin time to prepare.
