The Foo Fighters reported their most memorable new collection since the demise last year of drummer Taylor Hawkins.
A statement issued on Wednesday by the Grammy-winning rock band referred to the group’s 11th album, “But Here We Are,” as “a brutally honest and emotionally raw response to everything Foo Fighters endured over the last year.” It is “the sound of siblings finding asylum in the music that united them in any case a long time back.”
On June 2, the 10-track album is released. This week, the band’s lead single “Rescued,” which serves as a teaser for their bittersweet return, was made available online.
“We’re all free to some degree/To dance under the lights,” lead singer Dave Grohl belts in the track. “I’m just waiting to be rescued/Bring me back to life.”
In March 2022, Hawkins passed away suddenly at the age of 50, just hours before the band was scheduled to perform in Bogotá, Colombia. According to a statement issued by the Colombia attorney general’s office, a preliminary toxicology report revealed that Hawkins had traces of ten substances, including marijuana, antidepressants, and opioids, in his system.
In September, the band’s remaining members gave a six-hour tribute concert at London’s Wembley Stadium, during which Hawkins’ teen son played drums and Grohl wept.
Hawkins joined the Foo Contenders in 1997, and added to every one of the 15 of the gathering’s Grammy wins — including its breadth of each of the three stone classifications last year, the month after his demise.
